This piece is an exciting swing tune that both your students and audience will love! It is highly engaging for the eager beginning jazz ensemble thanks to its accessible rhythms and ranges. Rather than typical jazz charts, this is scored for full beginning band instrumentation to ensure every student can participate. The melodic parts are written in a 2-part style, and the duet soloists at the beginning are encouraged to stand in front of the ensemble. Additionally, feel free to use measures 25-36 as an accompaniment for the improvisation section in measures 37-48.
