Description
Featured on the John Fedchock New York Big Band CD Up & Running,ξthis lively romp for proficient groups features a funky New Orleans "second line" street beat. Solos are assigned to bass clarinet (or bari sax)ξand trumpet. The fun, quirky melody leads to some plunger mute antics with thebrass section, and Fedchock's signature voicings provide lots of harmon ic integrity. After the trumpet solo, an exciting shout chorus features interjections by a Dixieland band (trumpet, bass clarinet, trombone, alto sax). The piece concludes with a final march down Bourbon Street with building backgrounds, leaving the soloists to fade offξinto the distance. Duration 6:05.
