As you probably guessed from the title, Kris Berg has taken hints from some Miles Davis classics and turned them into a brilliant, up-tempo swing composition. Your band will get to show off their dynamic flexibility with some wonderful soft ensemble sections that lead into a shout chorus with awesome Saxophone lines filling in. Be sure to stay tuned in to the end of the chart...Kris adds some clever harmonic and rhythmic movement that wraps up the chart with a flourish.
