This swinging chart is a blues in G minor. One of the most compelling parts of this chart is the a cappella section that begins with only trombones and tenors for a chorus and builds from there. Yes, it’s exposed, but very playable and rewarding for the performers. A recording of this chart can be found on the Cal State Los Angeles CD, A Minor Excursion, and on several recordings by High School All-State Bands, available on Apple Music.
