The Last of the Red-Hot Tenors

As the title suggests, this is a tour de force for your band's hot tenor sax soloist! With a sultry, greasy, down-home feel, the soloist gets the melody interspersed with melodic statements from the band. Your bass trombone player also gets to do a bit of showing off. There's a long improvised section for the soloist to stretch out, then the entire band comes in with a big ensemble shout chorus. The soloist takes over again to bring it home. Two solo parts are provided; one totally improvised and one a suggested written-out solo.
