Splanky [Alf:00-WBRP2021]

Composer Neal Hefti wrote this classic swinger for Count Basie and legendary arranger Sammy Nestico scored it for the Jazz Band Series. Your band will shine on this medium tempo chart and the ensemble writing will have the band sounding just like Basie. Solo space provided for 1st tenor sax, 2nd trumpet and 1st trombone, accessible brass ranges, add the Basie-style rhythm section fills and you have a superior chart that will stand the test of time. Basie, Hefti and Nestico-what a combination!
