Sugarpie (Jazz Band Gr. 5)

Bring the Dixieland sound back with this rollicking New Orleans strut. A quartet of Alto Sax, Trumpet, Vibes, and Guitar presents the main melody, and idiomatic chord progressions and rhythm section parts solidify the New Orleans sound. A flexible solo section leaves plenty of room for soloists to improvise, and the group solo section that follows lends an authentic Dixie flair.
