Description:
Originally written to feature legendary veteran bassist Earl May, longtime member of Frank Foster's Loud Manority big band rhythm section, this chart is perfect for the big band bassist who rarely takes solos (and then only when forced or threatened with defamation of character - that's how Earl is). A simple 12-bar blues in F major, the tune requires neither proof that one is Superman or Superwoman, but merely an ability to improvise on the blues. Along with bits of interesting ensemble work, your bassist gets to blow on some straight-out blues changes, walk some behind a trombone solo, and make the final statement of the melody with a tag and a slowed down ending. Be sure to remind your bass-picker not to take the written promptings throughout the chart personally; they were meant for Earl May only. He's one of those senior citizens who need certain types of guidance from chorus to chorus.
