Solid, Reliable Gig Material
This Grade 3 Perdido chart by Mark Taylor is a dependable pick for gigs. It's an upbeat classic that audiences love, and the 6-horn format fits most smaller big band setups. The open solo section is great for flexibility, allowing soloists to stretch out. Easy to read and quick to put together, it's a solid addition to the book.
