The Four Note Boogaloo

The Four Note Boogaloo is a fun chart for a grooving rhythm section with a melody featuring a small jazz combo horn section of alto sax, tenor sax and trombone in the "A" section. There's also ample opportunities for full ensemble playing in this popular style. In the "B" section the saxes and bass play unison counterpoint against the brass. As the title suggests, both sections are based around four-note motives. There are no solos other than a section allowing the drummer to solo or simply play a great groove. Plus, it's playable with optional reduced or expanded instrumentations. Solid and accessible!
