One for the Mooch - Score

by Peter Blair

This is boogie-woogie that sounds solid and is easy to teach. Altos and trumpets have the melody in unison after the ensemble introduction. The saxes follow in the next chorus with unison trumpet licks in the background and the trombones laying down the very easy "boogie" line. There are written solos for alto, tenor and trumpet over the most basic I7-IV7-V7 blues changes.
