Description
Bass and guitar begin the chart with a captivating rhythmic pattern you won't soon forget. This chart has plenty of ensemble writing---some in unison, some in harmony, and solo space for all winds with suggested written-out solos. Lead trumpet range to written G-sharp on top of the staff and the tempo is around 115 BPM. This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

The challenge isn't the sixteenth note rhythms but those chord changes as a soloist. This is one of the few songs where I've seen chord changes on a sixteenth note rhythm and it isn't a chord change where you can get away with screwing up (A7 -> D7 for example) as it's a half step change. This is my favorite Gordon Goodwin chart though and I wish we could've played it in high school.

My jazz band just started learning this today, and it's very hard cause the notes are so fast and I also have to learn the solo part for trumpet

I just got this song today and it's so fun to play and even though I have only been playing trumpet for like 6 months this is not scary at all

I used the Bari solo and modified it a bit when I played this. (In case you actually want to see, it's on my channel)

I play 3rd trumpet for this and I am NOT good enough to play that solo
