Minnie the Moocher
This is an adaptation that combines elements of the Blues Brothers chart (including Alan [Mr. Fabulous] Rubin's trumpet licks) with some features of Cab's earlier recordings. The call and response part has been written in and cued in all the parts so that the band can either play or shout the answers. Of course, it is encouraged to get the audience involved in the call and response part. The vocal part has been cued in trombone 1 in the event that you'd like to play this as an instrumental. The only tricky part of this arrangement is that it goes into a double time feel towards the end. The drummer doubles the time two measures before the rest of the band does. There are no saxophone doubles. Vocal Key: E minor.
