Tickle Toe is a real Tenor sax feature. Hardly surprising, as it was written for Lester Young! This chart, with the usual Basie combinatino of flowing sax lines and punchy barss, is written in a minor key, giving it a haunting tonality. Quite quick, at 210 bpm, the chart itself is not technically too demaning, once your sax players have got their fingers around the tune. All the solos (Tenor, Trumpet and Piano) are written out and the chords too, should your players want to improvise. No sax doubles and brass ranges are pretty moderate.
