One of my favorite jazz bands was the Count Basie Big Band. This
particular chart is something that, Id like to think, the Count might pick
for his group.
The GumShoe is a blues that begins with a simple piano solo that turns into
a musical conversation with the sax section. As the tune develops, other
sections begin joining the conversation which ultimately takes the band into
a solo section.
There is a written out solo for trumpet, however, the changes are available
for each wind instrument and the solo section is in blues form.
