Happy Hotel, The (Jazz Ens Gr. 4.5)

The Happy Hotel" is a straight-up fast swinger with great solo space for trumpet and drums. The quirky melody is played by the saxes with overlaid brass punches. Written in Dorian minor with plenty of quartal harmony, this piece is a refreshing departure from the more traditional approach.
