Undecided
Feature a trumpet or trombone soloist on Frank Mantooth’s masterful “brisk” treatment of this standard. With powerful ensemble punches and a driving feel throughout, this one defines the term “burner.” (Originally published in 1987 and recorded by The Ashley Alexander Big Band on “Seems Like Old Times” – PR 7209)SKU: HL7507300 -

Whodunnit?
Another Gordon Goodwin work of art. Commissioned by New Trier High School, Jim Warrick, director, this is sort of a bluesy-swing chart with a huge shout chorus. Optional vibe/xylophone/percussion part and an optional flute part on 2nd alto part. Demands a strong sax section and has a powerful shout chorus. As performed by Gordon Goodwin’s Big Phat Band. Wonderful chart! (excerpt 2:06)SKU: ALJEM05026 -
