on this Oliver Nelson classic falls right in the
pocket at about 110 bpm. The iconic melody is

for developing jazz groups!

H Dat Dere—Bobby Timmons/arr. Erik Morales. A
soulful tune with a catchy title and melody! Erik
Morales captures composer Bobby Timmons'
medium swing groove. At a moderate tempo,
with a slightly mysterious intro, the saxes grab the
melody and it builds from there. A written (or ad
lib) alto solo is provided with a fat shout chorus.
This is an outstanding chart in every respect!
Highly recommended!
