Revenge is very sweet! Gordon Goodwin is the hot writer of today’s big band charts and this arrangement proves it. Count Bubba’s Revenge features a shuffle swing that builds and builds. On top of that, it showcases all the sections by trading back and forth, playing a cappella, and so on. Solo space is provided for tenor, bari, trumpet, trombone, and piano or guitar. Gordon is masterful at creating a chart that exudes energy and excitement, and this one delivers. Standard instrumentation—no doubles. (6:24)

A cha cha you won’t forget! Trumpet is featured in this fabulous chart by today’s hottest contemporary writer, Gordon Goodwin. The trumpet soloist has plenty of space to solo – both improvised and written and there are hot unison lines throughout this high-energy composition to keep everyone thinking. The piano has an authentic Latin ostinato, 1st alto sax has a soprano and flute doubles (optional alto sax part included), and a percussion part is provided. Dedicated to the legendary Latin percussionist Tito Puente. Ideal for festival and concert – this chart is outstanding! As recorded by Gordon Goodwin’s Big Phat Band on the new CD Off the Beaten Path.

Gordon Goodwin’s stellar reputation as a writer is well deserved. A funky half-time shuffle groove for big band, Gordon’s clever opening melody statement is played by altos and trumpets with solo space provided for piano, alto, or tenor sax. The burnin’ shout chorus will make this an all time favorite chart for every library. Percussion part included. As recorded on Gordon Goodwin’s Big Phat Band: Swingin’ for the Fences. This chart grooves!
