The swingin' unison vocal featuring all wind players is the definite highlight in this vintage arrangement of 1955! Both before and after that rousing chorus, sax and brass solis and strong ensemble shouts give this old favorite plenty of momentum and sparkle. All rhythm section parts are fully notated, brass ranges are very accessible, and no improvisation is required. Duration 2:15.
