I Got Rhythm
Everybody gets the melody in this unusual but hip swing chart. Check out how jazz trombonist Wycliffe Gordon has taken this jazz standard and worked his arranging magic. A piano or guitar solo section (can be any soloist), a brief meter change to 3/4, plenty of energy throughout—no one will doze off on this chart. A clever arrangement. (2:32)SKU: AL29817 -
