made famous by Royal Crown Revue. The groove
is set up with a drum solo laying down a Sing, Sing,
Sing Krupa feel before the band enters. A trumpet
with plunger solo leads into a sax soli section. Next,
the trumpet section is featured on a soli section
before a half-time feel gives the brass a chance
to shine. Returning to the original groove, a written
solo for tenor sax heightens the excitement. Finally,
there's an open drum solo before the band enters
and takes it on home. Pure excitement!
