FULL SCORE

This chart is a real in-the-pocket shuffle. A one-chorus unison piano and bass riff sets up the groove. The horns then come in at a whisper over a light-and-tight rhythm section shuffle. Lines with dynamic contrasts make this one interesting and captivating. A punchy four-bar horn figure punctuated by rhythm section hits at the end of the chorus sends off the soloist.
SOLOS: 12 bar blues with a couple of hip alternate changes in bars 9 and 10.

BOBBY WATSON (b. 1953). One of the most gifted composers and arrangers in Jazz today, versatile alto-saxophonist Bobby Watson has recorded his compositions on more than 30 albums in diverse settings from sax quartets as a member of the 29th Street Saxophone Quartet, to combos with his group Horizon, to his "Tailor Made" big band. After receiving his degree in music theory and composition from the University of Miami, Bobby completed his jazz education in the late '70s as a member of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers where he served as music director for 2 years in a group that included Wynton Marsalis, James Williams, Billy Pierce and Charles Fambrough. A recipient of an NEA grant for composition and a frequent clinician across the country, Bobby's works such as Appointment In Milano, Wheel Within A Wheel, Conservation and Beatitudes have been recorded by Blakey, Wynton Marsalis, Kevin Mahogany, T.S. Monk and others.
