Dixon, Eric Big Band / HL00000866 click for RealAudio clip Recorded by GROVER MITCHELL on HIP SHAKIN' KEN-005 / 6/18/90  Tempo Medium swing Arrangement Difficulty medium-easy Solo Difficulty medium-easy BIG BAND INSTRUMENTATION Alto Sax 1 Alto Sax 2 Tenor Sax 1 Tenor Sax 2 Baritone Sax Trumpet 1 Trumpet 2 Trumpet 3 Trumpet 4 Trombone 1 Trombone 2 Trombone 3 Trombone 4 Guitar Piano Bass Drums FULL SCORE This is a classic, straight-ahead, easy swing. Here, the rhythms may be handled even by inexperienced players. The first trumpet goes only up to a high C, making this even more accessible for a young band. The melody alternates between unison trumpets on the A sections and soli saxophones on the bridge. There's also a classic Basie shout chorus that gives the drummer some room to shine. There's a short solo for the piano over simple changes that are full of II-Vs and which move slowly enough for an inexperienced soloist to play over. RECORDINGS Grover Mitchell/Hip Shakin' (Ken 005) ERIC DIXON (1930-1989) was a mainstay of the Count Basie Orchestra for more than two decades where he played reeds and flute and contributed many charts to the Basie book.
