(Level 3) An up-tempo Count Basie chart with lyrics. This tune is a direct adaptation of the big band chart for SATB format. The treatment is polyphonic and the gals singing sax and trumpet parts and the guys singing trombone parts, with powerful tutti sections throughout. There is a powerful modulation at the end. An excellent opener or closer. SSATB with rhythm section.
