One for the Mooch
With its boogie-woogie shuffle, this blues tune has a great feel, sounds solid and is easy to teach. The altos and trumpets have the melody in unison after the full ensemble introduction. The saxes follow in the next chorus with unison trumpet licks in the background and the trombones laying down the very easy "boogie" line. There are written solos for alto, tenor and trumpet over the most basic I7-IV7-V7 blues changes. In addition to the full, big-band instrumentation, it sounds solid with a minimum of 3 saxes (AAT), 3 trumpets, 2 trombones, piano, bass, and drums. Highly recommended!
