Learning music in the style of the great Count Basie Band is an essential experience for any jazz musician. This accessible chart is a swinging original featuring many of the components so often heard in the Count's music: a riff-based melody, blues changes and a piano presenting the first statement of the melody. Scored at the very easy level for as few as five horns with rhythm section and expandable to full big band, Basically Basie includes written or improvised solos for all with full ensemble backgrounds and optional parts for flute, clarinet and horn in F for expanded instrumentations. Not only is this a great teaching chart, it's highly recommended as great performance repertoire!
