The second and more difficult of the two 'Sassy's'. This one mirrors Thad's original in form and style. Slightly richer voicings than SCM-1001 but not an overly high lead trumpet part.

This is the third part of Thad's 'Suite for Pops'. This movement reflects the joyous retreat associated with funerals typical in New Orleans. Hard Driving Shuffle.

Re-scored a fourth lower to F containing all of the skillfully penned structure written for the Count Basie band by Frank Foster in the early 60's.

This tune is based on the changes to 'I'm Getting Sentimental Over You' but at a medium swing tempo.

Qui a dit qu'être dans la niche n'était pas amusant ? Cette œuvre phénoménale fusionne le boogie-woogie et le shuffle dans un tableau au style et à l'attitude uniques. Le groove du piano d'ouverture s...

Inspiré par le grand James Brown et des groupes comme Tower of Power, cet excellent morceau utilise également une mélodie indéniablement néo-orléanaise. Il y a de nombreuses occasions de mettre en val...
