Billie's Bounce

Here's a fresh take on the bebop blues classic by Charlie Parker. In the Little Big Band format, it starts out in a funk style then alternates with swing. The soloists have an opportunity to improvise in both styles. The small-band instrumentation is: six horns (ATB saxes, two trumpets and one trombone) plus four rhythm with optional additional parts included for alto, tenor and trombone.
