One More for Johnny

A classic up-tempo swinger in the Basie tradition, this chart has it all, right down to the classic piano ending. At around 176 bpm, every section gets a workout in this swinging original with lots of call-and-response playing and effective section features throughout. There's a great sax soli section with brass punctuations, written or improvised solos for trumpet 2 and piano, and drum fills highlighting the final shout. A bass pedal point sends it home with a big climax and piano-filled finale. It swings hard, and it work great!
