Down a Notch

A medium-slow 12-bar blues in the Basie tradition, with accessible figures that swing hard. At this tempo the band can focus on the swing style and really make the shout chorus shout! The chart opens with two choruses of piano solo before the saxes come in to state the melody. After a strong send-off, the floor is open for soloists. This chart ends with a big shout chorus! Trumpet range is to written high C; trombone range is to G. You don't want to miss this one!
