Description: Swing - Medium

SEXTET INSTRUMENTATION

This chart is fun to play, with an impressive call and response between the horns and rhythm section that starts on the 2nd part of the form and a transition into a Latin feel for a short time at the end of each chorus. The biggest challenge presented by this uptempo swing arrangement is the section of extended poly-rhythms for the rhythm section which begins and ends the piece. The first horn part was recorded on clarinet and is in unison with the other two instruments in the front line (tenor sax and guitar on the recording) for much of the head.

SOLOS: The solo changes are not easy, but they don't go by too fast. Each chorus ends with a Latin groove under some easy major seventh chords that move in fourths, so no matter what happens, you're assured of a strong ending.
