Hard Hearted Hannah by Yellen/Ager/Bigelow/Bates ♫ arranged for vocalist + septet by Rich Willey.
Great novelty tune from 1924 that is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Four-horn introduction, then trumpet player sings (or plays) the verse followed by the refrain with background figures by the other three horns complete with stop-time sections. Solo section includes chord changes to verse as well as refrain. After solos, trumpet player sings (or plays) a second verse followed by a different refrain with different background figures by the other three horns including stop-time sections. At the end of that chorus, the tempo picks up for another refrain with stop-time leading into a slow, “bump ‘n’ grind” finish. This makes a perfect encore number.
