Description
The Benny Golson classic ‘Killer Joe’ with a Quincy Jones twist. This arrangement for big band is closely based on the track from Quincy Jones’ album 'Q's Jook Joint.' Jack Cooper has skillfully arranged it to be playable by many groups (easy ranges!), with all the excitement of the original presented in a fresh hip-hop style. It makes a great choice for a next festival or concert.
