The instrumentation is trumpet, alto sax, tenor sax, trombone, and rhythm section. The melody is arranged one way at the beginning and then has optional background figures for horns during the first solo section. There is a soli section in the middle followed by more solo space with different optional background figures for the horns. The out-chorus is a different arrangement than the opening chorus and goes into a coda for the ending.
The chart is 165 written measures, ♩ = 120, level of difficulty is intermediate to advanced. Parts come as a PDF that you will be able to download immediately upon submitting your order.
