Description

A tribute to The Jazz Kitchen, one of Downbeat magazine’s top 100 jazz clubs worldwide. Our big band performed on its opening night 30 years ago and has been part of every anniversary since. My son, David Allee, the Jazz Kitchen’s owner, has built a space that showcases the world’s finest talents. This track, filled with cherished memories, features our lead alto saxophonist, Michael Stricklin. This chart gives your alto soloist plenty of space to stretch out and shine. Very blues oriented, the changes are interesting, but also easy to navigate. Audiences respond very well to this piece!
