Southtown Hustle is a driving rock/fusion chart in a quasi-Herbie Hancock style. The tempo is around 132 bpm; it's mostly a full-ensemble feature with a couple of short written or ad-lib inserts for tenor saxophone. Additional features include well-placed drum fills and an effective interlude featuring the bassist. A fun and musical chart. Optional parts for expanded instrumentations include flute, clarinet, horn in F and tuba.
