Shake a Lady

A funky Latin groove is the foundation for this infectious chart with a catchy melody! Oliver Nelson's arrangement of Shake a Lady is a great chart that will cause the player's heads to sway and the audience to clap along. Originally recorded by Cannonball Adderley on his album Domination, this chart features the melody stated by an alto saxophone and trumpet duet, while the ensemble takes on the backup role that further enhances the excitement. There are even percussion parts to keep the trumpet players happy when they're not playing. There's some short solo space for trumpet and alto saxophone and the ranges are quite moderate. There's nothing tricky about this chart, just good old-fashioned groovin' fun!
