BLUES & SWING medium-easy
By George—Paul Baker. This fun swinger
introduces rhythm changes to younger players. A
strong dialogue between brass and saxes sets the
tone early before the saxes take the melody. The
written alto sax solo is based on Charlie Parker's
solo on Moose the Mooch. The written trumpet solo
is based on solos of Ella Fitzgerald and Bud Powell.
The shout section opens with the horns trading
fours with the bassist (written bass solo provided).
