A ripsnorter of a number, based on the original Woody Herman version. A brief punchy start introduces a piano solo - a real opportunity for your pianist to show off a little. The sequence is repeated, and then the band's in, with saxes taking the tune and brass backing. Solo's for tenor and trumpet, followed by a very fluid and yet punchy tutti passage, leading to a re-statement of the theme and tight ending. Difficult to describe, so why not listen to a Herman recording and you'll get the idea!! Bob's Chart is written for 5 trumpets, but is equally playable with 4. Although it is a fast number it's not that hard, once you've got your fingers round it!! The live mp3, which has an extended opening piano solo, is complete. Grade: Advanced Duratio: 3:20
