(8 Brass) A very fast swing tune arranged in the same style as played by Eric Alexander on his album Night Life in Tokyo. This chart features the saxophone section in a soli which is a transcription of Alexander's tenor sax solo on the original. This chart will give a more modern sound to your big band program. A wonderful concert or festival closer if you have strong saxophones. Also has tenor sax and drums solos. The repeating vamp in the rhythm section is written out.
