What Sammy Said arranged by Gordon Goodwin. For big band. Medium to difficult. Score and parts. Published by Walrus Music Publishing Arr : Big band Publisher : Walrus Music Publishing
A slow Basie-style blues that is dedicated and inspired by the great Sammy Nestico, this chart starts out slow but before you know it you are building your way towards a stomping Basie shout chorus. You can open this chart up for any of your soloists, and there is plenty of juicy ensemble work to display your band's tightness and ability to swing. Sammy Nestico rules! Alto 1-2 doubles on flute. Trumpet 1 to high G (optional to Ab) 5, 4, 4, G, P, B, D.
