Dog Walkin' Shuffle

Dog Walkin' Shuffle is a fun, laid-back shuffle chart for young jazz bands. It's a shout-out to the great shuffle grooves of the big bands such as the Buddy Rich Band and includes a multitude of teaching and performance opportunities. At around 132 bpm, it features modest brass ranges, dynamic variety, and is playable with optional reduced or expanded instrumentations. The unique solo section can feature any wind player wishing to try improvising or play the written solo, or the solo can be played as a soli by the sax, trumpet or trombone sections. A clever stop-time section after the solos adds to the overall arc of the tune. Swing hard! Have fun! Enjoy!
