Additional info/contents	Diese Nummer ist total cool, aber die Energie, die sie erzeugt, ist heiß! Sie ist ein Swing in Moll und im mittleren Tempo und erinnert an einige der großartigen Buddy Rich-Songs. Immer wenn Sie glauben, Sie wissen, wo das Stück hinführt, ändern sich die Harmonien und führen woanders hin. Der offene Teil, der Soli Ihrer Wahl zulässt, baut auf sehr einfachen Moll- und Bluesskalen auf. Es gibt viele dynamische Kontraste und ein weiches Sax-Solo, das in einen brüllenden Chorus mündet, der wirklich röhrt. Dieses Stück bietet wirklich viel fürs Geld. Sogar Bands, die normalerweise schwierigeres Material spielen, werden darauf abfahren. This one is way cool, but the energy it creates is hot. It's a medium tempo swinger in a minor key, reminiscent of some of the great Buddy Rich tunes. Just when you think you know where it's going, the harmonies change and lead to something new. The open section for solos of your choice is built upon very basic minor Blues changes. Plenty of dynamic contrasts, with a very soft sax soli leading into a shout chorus that really roars. There's plenty 'Bang For Your Buck' with this one. Even Bands that usually play more difficult material will dig it.
