Description
A barn-burner in Bb minor key that brings back the traditional "tenor battle." Tenor saxophones trade choruses, half-choruses, eights, fours, and twos, punctuated with ensemble send-offs, interludes, backgrounds and a 16-bar high-energy shout chorus. Arranged by John McNeil for Sherrie Maricle & The DIVA Jazz Orchestra, recorded on Live In Concert.
This publication is dedicated to the memory and magic of Stanley Kay, the founder and creative force behind The DIVA Jazz Orchestra, FIVE PLAY, and The DIVA Jazz Trio. May his music make you swing hard and smile.
