Description: Recorded by Count Basie & His Orchestra in the late 1960's, this classic blues for developing ensembles features written or ad lib solos for trombone and drums. Midway through, shortly after the trombone solo ends, the full band gradually builds intensity and volume before launching into a roaring shout that'll blow your audience away. Rhythm section parts are partially notated with chords cued.
