This version of Swingin' Shepherd Blues is transcribed from that played by the late, great Ted Heath. Unusually for a swing chart the tempo is pretty slow, but very effective nonetheless. This chart is a real contrast of dynamics, because it alternates from one or two reeds plus rhythm, to tutti fortissimo and back again. This arrangement makes a great concert piece and is equally suitable for strict temp dancing. Lead Alto is on Soprano Sax throughout, and 2nd Alto is on Clarinet throughout. Duration 2'50' Grade; Easy/Medium
