A shuffle at 166 BPM, this is a feature for two tenor saxes---not a duel, but a vehicle to showcase both your tenor players.

That bass line gives me life

[@noahredfern3950]

as a bassist i can confirm he is indeed correct 😂

[@DrDarkMatter]

Theres no bassline so funky and strange like this one!

[@alexandraobrien9441]

Love the tenor face off!!

[@lasercat5638]

first second chair tenor solo I've seen

[@besapods5539]

Tenor 2 shouldn’t be thought of as second chair. It’s just tenor part that plays the lower part

[@coasterkid21]

I went to the high school this was arranged for and it was so fun to be the first to play it.

[@piesmuggler7268]

yo we’re playing it again this year. what instrument did you play?

[@alec_tokyo]

I played this song at a concert with my school jazz band a while ago. It's a crazy fun song ^_^ Needless to say my favorite in our set list that day.

I like the Syeeda's Song Flute quote. This arrangement is definitely neat and creative.

[@sequoyahcisneros8719]

Yeah lol'd at that

[@noahbromberg3675]

Lmao it took me a second to find it again😂

[@jesta7837]

Among other quotes like epistrophy and Friday the 13th. Definitely an amazing arrangement of the piece and a nod to monk.

[@joshtaylor3390]

[@henrywyliemusic]

One of the bass lines and solo songs I’ve ever played!

[@jacksonpowell4139]

the ghost note shuffle is pretty insane, are you sure thats for a a medium junior jazz band?

[@schloob]

I love this so much. It just has such a groove to it

[@VinnyG6053]

I love this song as a soloist that switches to bari sax for that low A part, I get to enjoy the parts I love most about the entire song.

[@danielbateman86]

I love this arrangement

[@GreenBoy9000]

0:22 This section could benefit from giving the pianist a Rhodes electric piano for comping, and a synth bass keyboard for the unison sections with the actual bass/bassist. This can also work for Mike's take on Such Sweet Thunder.

[@layz_gaming_4275]

Wish i could play this arrangement

[@104lilryon4]

[@Poultrycooker1237]

I played this for my senior jazz on the alto and counting for this piece was pretty difficult since I had long rests pretty frequently 😅😅

[@BucketheadsBucket]

Remembering how it sounds when you come in helps so you don’t have to sit there counting. Just remember the part right before as a little reminder where you are.

I would love to hear this live, with as much ugh whatever this feeling is that they're playing with that makes me want to cringe and punch the nearest thing that is appropriate.

Hello, I got a problem, The dynamic contrast and volume contrast are two different things and the volume contrast isn't actually different. Probably due to it being done by an AI of some sorts. Best to get a live recording of this.
