AND ALL THAT JAZZ
– John Edmonson.
In the style of the great Fletcher Henderson big band of the 1930s, this chart alternates between a two-beat feel and a swing four — just what your group needs to learn! The rhythm section drop-out on the second chorus under a tutti shout section introduces a trumpet soli or solo. Your audience won't be able to sit still on this one! [2:19]
