Wind Chill Factor

This up-tempo minor blues swinger is so cool it's on fire from the opening bass solo! Even though the pace is fast, the skillful writing keeps it playable and in the pocket. The saxes are featured on the melody followed by the trumpets before big brass hits lead into the solo section that vamps on blues changes in A minor. The solos are written or improvised for tenor 1 and trumpet 2. The drummer gets his fill on during a chorus of soloing before the chart surprisingly switches up with a funky half-time groove. Then it's back to the double-time swing genre as the chart features the melody again followed by more drum solos building intensity for a very frosty finish!
