rhythmic energy and fun of a Blues Brothers

Red Clay—Freddie Hubbard/arr. Mike Kamuf. A gem of a chart, here's Freddie Hubbard's
Red Clay arranged for developing jazz bands. Characteristically, it's a straight-eighths groove
at 132 bpm with written or ad lib solos for tenor sax and trumpet 2. A more subtle and quieter
interlude adds variety and interest, and a unique and effective rhythm section break featuring the
bassist leads to the return of the head. The trumpet 1 range is to written G on top of the staff and
a nice shout chorus further adds to the fun. Playable with optional expanded instrumentations.
A great jazz standard superbly arranged!

written. No solos are required, just a little attitude! Our highest recommendation!
