(8 or 9 Brass) (Level 4) A straight-ahead blues in Ab! Solo space provides room for baritone sax to stretch and for trombones 1 and 2 to battle. The momentum of this chart builds from the first chorus to the shout with plenty of swinging figures in-between. Originally written for the Woody Herman Band (The score is formatted for the Herman Band set-up but the chart comes complete with parts for standard instrumentation.)
