Description
Dedicated to the great Basie trumpeter Harry “Sweets” Edison, this classic swinger is meant to showcase 1 or all of your trumpet players. The chart was composed using several famous Sweets “licks,” turned into this groovin’ blues. The open solo section leaves plenty of space for other soloists as well. This is a DIVA Jazz favorite.
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.
Instrumentation
Standard Big Band (5/4/4/4)
