Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Swing - Medium Difficult

Publisher: Sierra Music

Bob Curnow dedicates this to his new grandson Eli whose middle name is Wolfgang. So, he had to have his own tune, right? Based on a medium slow, swinging feel, this chart moves quickly into a Basie-ish style with the tenors and trombones stating the theme. The 2nd statement is surrounded with lots of lines that weave in and out. This is followed by a tenor sax solo. The full ensemble then sets up the following trombone solo. The ensemble once again takes over for before the drums state some short solo passages. The chart ends as it began, nice and easy. 5-5-4-4
