Description
This is the perfect blues shuffle honky-tonk chart. Brilliant composer/arranger Lisa DeSpain has done an outstanding job with this great tune. Your young players will learn the blues shuffle style quickly and the band will dig this fun-to-play chart. Written or ad-lib solos are for trumpet 1 and 3, alto 1, tenors 1 and 2, and trombone 1. The rhythm parts groove throughout, and the ranges are modest. (4:27)
