Dem Brine Shrimp That Ate Salt Lake City Blues

The fun title is derived from a campy indie horror spoof flick about giant brine shrimp attacking Salt Lake City in the mid sixties. This Ellington-ish medium blues chart marches to its own beat with a straight-ahead melody preceded and followed by solos with cool riffs and big shout choruses. It's challenging, but basically melodic and straight-ahead. Soloists: piano, tenor sax, and trumpet.
