Description
As an homage to the great Count Basie, composer/arranger David Berger delivers just what the title says---this chart is truly Stompin' on a Riff. Features include a piano intro, a sax section melody and some brass, written solos for 2nd trumpet and 1st alto, a modulation, some piano fills, another modulation and a diminuendo into the shout chorus. This chart swings hard---you'll love it! (3:41) "This excellent blues chart in the Basie style uses the keys of G, A-flat, E-flat, and A-flat. The written solos for piano, trumpet, and alto sax include changes and fit the style well. The writing includes a great shout chorus and some neat plunger work for the trumpets" -The Instrumentalist This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.
