Limehouse Blues

Here's a magnificent arrangement of this great standard that swings from beginning to end!  It begins with a swift, strong ensemble chorus and then breaks into a call-and-response between the saxes and brass.  After the solo section, there's a soft shout chorus that features a tasty contrapuntal style that's followed by a restatement of the chorus, and then a loud shout chorus takes it home!  This exceptional chart is easier than it sounds, but the first trumpet needs a strong C above the staff.  The exciting tempo makes it a perfect concert or contest opener or closer that really cooks all the way!  We give this one our highest recommendation!
