First-rate ensemble writing makes this funk shuffle an ideal choice for any concert program.

This is a beautiful chart, with a unique feel. Chart opens with a warm chorale melody, then evolves into an ethereal, straight-eighth (mm=140) ECM-ish feel. Solo changes are included for tenor and tru...

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-001 but not an overly high lead trumpet part.
