This chart is an exercise in diminished chord harmonies for groups that want to branch out from the normal swing formulas. The melody is presented by a trio of Tenor, Trumpet and Trombone with solo opportunities for all three. The excitement builds throughout a hip ensemble passage making way for the full band to "shout" through a swingin' chorus of the melody. The trio returns to close out the tune with the brass adding color with various mutes. |
