Edition: Jazz Combo Arrangement (3 Horns with Rhythm)

Description: Swing - Medium

Publisher: Second Floor Music/Hal Leonard

Another great set closer, its guaranteed to get the crowd screaming and on their feet! This is an swinging uptempo blues with bridge: two choruses of blues followed by a II-V sequence bridge, then one more blues chorus. The tempo of this one can be as fast as you know you can maneuver the head. The solo background riffs are drawn from Jim's solo on the original recording. The Drum solo section starts by dividing the blues sections: 4 bars ensemble, 8 bars drum solo. After the Drum solo, its D.C. al Coda, which has a dramatic ending. A note from the composer: (Eric:) This is a flagwaver that Jim and I put together for my first record date on Delmark Records. It ends up being simply a blues with a bridge, but the head has some interestng progressions in place of the standard blues changes. Originally, the bridge was an open solo section on the head, but Jim put together this line with this group in mind, as I remember.
