Count Basie

As recorded by the Count Basie Orchestra here is Sammy Nestico's classic arrangement of this Frank Foster jazz standard! Including all the signature piano stylings muted brass on the first strain sax soli trumpet solo and ashout chorus that roars this timeless chart deserves a place in every band's library.

Jazz Classics for the Young Ensemble - Grade 3 This cornerstone of the swingin' Count Basie era helped define a style and lend identity to one of the greatest big bands of all time. Mark's chart for young players allows you to attain that important Basie sound without the extreme technical demands. Including written or ad lib. solos for piano tenor trombone alto trumpet and even bass this is a marvelous study in background riffs followed by full ensemble power. A treat for any band!

For the Young Jazz Ensemble-This classic blues was a standard of the Count Basie Orchestra for many years and Sammy Nestico's very playable version for young groups really cooks!
