Description
A jazz-Latin composition in the style of the Buddy Rich Big Band (1970s era). While the chart is accessible enough for a high school band, it is exciting enough for performance by anyone. Since composing it in 2015, this song has been an audience favorite and it is my most frequent closer for Elliot Deutsch Big Band performances. The solo changes are a 12-bar-blues in C minor.
Instrumentation
Standard Big Band (5/4/4/4)
