By Gordon Goodwin
Big band - Medium to difficult

SKU: WA.56194

Composed by Gordon Goodwin. Score and parts. Published by Walrus Music Publishing (WA.56194).

Commissioned by the Elko High School Jazz Ensemble, Walt Lowell, director, this is a bluesy shuffle with a quirky twist. The melodies are full of half-step intervals, which are intended to convey a little edge, so don't be shy play 'em like you mean it! The ensemble also has many dotted eight/sixteenth note rhythms if you play these nice and tight it will help propel the shuffle groove. This chart is a great vehicle to feature a number of your best soloists who can resist blowing on blues in F, even if it is a 16 bar chorus? This chart is lots of fun, not too difficult and makes for a spirited opener or set closer. No sax doubles, lead trumpet high note is written F. Lead trombone high note is A.5 Saxes (A,A,T,T,B),4 Trumpets, 4 Trombone (4th = bass trombone),p/g/b/d, percussion (Vibes).
