Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Swing - Medium

Publisher: Walrus Music Publishing

A slow Basie-style blues that is dedicated to and inspired by the great Sammy Nestico, this chart starts out slow but before you know it you are building your way towards a stomping Basie shout chorus. You can open this chart up for any of your soloists, and there is plenty of juicy ensemble work to display your band's tightness and ability to swing. As recorded by Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band on XXL. Alto 1-2 doubles on flute. Trumpet 1 to high G (optional to Ab). Difficult.
