H Green Onions���arr. Paul Murtha. Few purely
instrumental tunes ever reach the level of
popularity achieved by this familiar ���60s hit
by ���Booker T and the MGs.��� Often used in
TV and film, this infectious tune has a bluesy
groove that���s unmistakable and still hip after
all these years. Play it with full jazz ensemble
instrumentation, or with as few as 3 saxes, 2
trumpets, 1 trombone and rhythm; or add the
optional parts for flute, 2 clarinets, horn in F
and tuba. Highly recommended!���
