Description: Swing - Medium

Publisher: Baker's Jazz and More

Johnny Carson looks into the camera and says, "We'll Be Right Back," and the band launches into a hard swinging chart with a big brass punches answered by a hard charging sax section. The bridge is dominated by a bebop trumpet section soli before handing back off to the saxes to finish the chorus. Solo opportunities are provided for alto sax and trumpet, or piano or guitar may be added or substituted. The solo changes are 'rhythm changes' except they're in concert Eb this time. Trumpets get to have some fun with plungers on the background figures. The shout section ensues featuring a trombone section soli on the bridge. A brief coda leads to the signature ending. Trumpet range is to written high C. Trombone range is to G.
