Description
Recorded by John Yao and His 17-piece Instrument, "Out of Socket" is a medium swing chart that features the band grooving and hitting hard. There's a lot of room for blowing with solos in the Alto Sax, Trombone and Trumpet. The simple melody presented in the beginning by the brass returns at the end of the chart, but this time in the saxes and over a driving 5/4 funky boogaloo groove. Following the statement of the melody, the 3 soloists return together before the band roars to its final climax.
Instrumentation
Standard Big Band (5/4/4/3) with NO guitar part
