Description
“Blondie” is meant to be a tribute to Neal Hefti's "Cute" for the Count Basie band. This chart is great for a sax section that can handle a soli and drummer who can really get inside the brushes, and is meant to be swinging and fun for everyone.
*This chart also includes a secondary Alto Sax 1 part if you have a lead player who doubles on ute, really bringing the Basie sound to life.
Instrumentation
Standard Big Band (5/4/4/4)
Additional Info
Optional flute doubling in Alto 1, Cup Mute for Brass, Harmon for trumpet 4, and brushes for drums.
Soloists: Trumpet 2 and Trombone 2
