Work Song (Gr. 1)
Cannonball Adderley made it famous, brother Nat composed it and now Terry White provides a terrific swing chart for younger jazz groups. It swings hard, features a catchy, easy to play melody, and is mature sounding. Suggested solos are provided for alto 1 and trumpet 1, plus there's a great interlude and shout chorus. Trumpet 1 top note is written F-sharp top line. Playable with optional reduced or expanded instrumentations. Highly recommended!
