"Blues on the Double" is a very rare Count Basie chart. Written by Buck Clayton and generally more associated with the Ellington band, this Basie version swings harder and offers more solo opportunities for alto, trumpet and tenor. Perhaps unusually for a Basie chart there is no solo spot for piano, though you could swap for a sax solo if you wished. The chart is as per the recording sample, except that the trumpet solo has been swapped for the clarinet solo. There are no written sax doubles. This is a driving up-tempo swing dance chart.
