Truly one blooz you will want to chooz! This chart swings solidly from top to bottom starting with its catchy melody and totally hip set of chord changes. After the open solo section, the ensemble builds leading up to an effective shout chorus, replete with exciting drum fills. Creatively scored to sound full with as few as 3 saxophones and 3 brass. With modest ranges throughout, Choozin’ the Blooz is a great chart for any level band. Sure to be a favorite with musicians and audiences alike!
