This medium swing original for developing groups is a riff-based blues in the tradition of the Count Basie and Duke Ellington bands. Blues You Can Use begins with the rhythm section setting the groove before a small group of alto, tenor, trumpet and trombone present the melody along with effective full ensemble backgrounds. The solo section is playable by any instrument with solo sheets provided in all keys, along with scales to assist improvisation. Featuring flexible scoring for 9-17 players, each set includes a guitar chord chart and optional flute, clarinet, horn in F, tuba, and vibes parts.
