Program Notes
Barrie Gott's "big-band" style festival arrangement "Swingtime Religion" is based on a popular religious song "Give me that old time religion." It features an extended trumpet solo that in turn leads into a very simple presentation of featured melody. It's a fun item to play, and one that will also have a popular appeal with listeners!
