Solid Big Band Chart for Performance
A reliable addition to any gigging jazz ensemble's repertoire. This 'Squatty Roo' arrangement, at Grade 5, offers a good challenge. The parts are well-organized and clearly laid out, making it easy to integrate into a set quickly. The classic swing feel and clearly indicated solo sections ensure it's versatile and audience-pleasing for various events. A solid choice.

A Thrilling Jazz Ensemble Experience!
I absolutely love playing 'Squatty Roo' with my community jazz band! John Clayton's arrangement of the Johnny Hodges classic is incredibly exhilarating. It truly captures that authentic big band swing sound. Despite being a Grade 5 piece, the catchy riffs and featured piano solo make it a fun and rewarding challenge to master. Highly recommended for enthusiastic adult learners!
