Description
This chart will have your audiences tapping their feet and nodding their heads from start to finish. Gordon Goodwin has taken this crowd-pleasing tune by Rich and made it into a truly enjoyable musical journey.
Written for five saxophones, five trumpets (solo 5th trumpet part can be played on trumpet or bass trumpet or both, as Rich did in the recording below), four trombones, piano, guitar, bass, drums and added percussionist. There are no doubles for any of the wind instruments in this chart.
The lead trumpet part goes up to a four leger-line G. This tune lies somewhere between Grade 5 and Grade 6, but audiences think it is Grade A. Chart length is 224 written bars, tempo is ♩ = 150 and the score is 26 pages.
Our big band charts are now available only as PDF files for you to print out yourself (at half the price that we used to charge for printed parts).
