Posaunen Quartett When Henry Fillmore wrote this tune in the late 1800's, he could never have imagined what the National Slide Quartet would do with it. This version is fast, exciting, and it's jazz!...

Bob Curnow has arranged one of Shorty Rogers' hippest tunes. The melody is stated by Alto and Trumpet, and the whole chart has that wonderful 'West Coast' Feel to it. There is a neat section which fea...
