In this terrific tip-of-the-hat tribute to Don Menza's famous Groovin' Hard chart, saxes get the major workout, supported by cleverly written brass parts, all in a shuffle swing style. Solos are given to alto, tenor, trumpet and trombone, with an 8-bar drums-only solo leading into the shout section. An unforgettable finish makes this the perfect program closer for proficient groups. |
