(8 Brass, optional 5th Trombone) (Level 4) An exciting contempory, up swing chart that both your audience and your band will enjoy! This tune features an alto solo (lead), a trumpet solo, and a "Rock and Roll" guitar solo. There is soprano saxophone and flute doubling. This chart would make a great closer for any college jazz band concert.
