Description
"Splanky" was composed by jazz great Neal Hefti for the legendary Count Basie band. Check out how arranger Roy Phillippe brings this arrangement to the easy level and yet keeps the integrity of Hefti's original chart. Solos are written out or ad lib for piano and 1st alto saxophone. Teaching the famous Basie shout chorus will be a breeze and the trademark Basie piano style is in there, too. This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud. (3:14)
