Blue Note Special

A strong melody and solid rhythmic groove are the cornerstones of this brilliant original from Mike Tomaro. The alternating swing and shuffle styles in this blues-oriented chart command the attention of every member of the band. Trombone and tenor take separate solos midway through, then near the end trade fours, then twos, then solo together; written lines are provided for players lacking improvisation experience. Rhythm section parts are notated with chords cued.
