Prima Veritas

In the style of the great Louis Prima, this medium tempo, "jump" blues chart is full of energy and excitement. Being a riff-based chart, there are opportunities to play the written backgrounds or have students create their own. The sax section is featured in a two chorus soli and there is lots of room for numerous soloists with the provided changes. A driving shout section leads to a short open drum solo before the final chord. The trumpet range is to written high C and the trombone range is to G, and the tempo is about 172 bpm. Highly recommended!
