A swing shuffle groove with a hint of gospel, this Erik Morales chart is simply fun to play with a sax soli, some independent bari sax lines, and optional (written) solos for alto, tenor, and guitar. Lead trumpet range is to written A, above the staff. It also has an optional ending with lead trumpet notes up to C. This is a hot chart! (3:45) This title is available in SmartMusic.

Playing Bari in the soli section was one of my favourite memories of my LIFE. Also improvising a solo in this song was great

[mrmrmeta]

I js came back from being sick and now I got a fire tenor solo in 2ish months??? Time to get back on that practice grind

[amritcheema]

I can just feel how excited that bari sax is playing a solo in that cool as background line at 2:07

Nostalgia hit different when listening to this. I played drums on this at a great America music festival and we came in first place in middle school division, our tenor won an outstanding tenor award and came in first for best jazz band. Great tune that I’ll never forget.

[waffle]

why does no one talk about the piano part, it is so dang hard

[zackwoods]

I remember this song really well. I played it on trumpet for 2 years and I played every part at one point in those 2 years.

[genaro]

[michaelabbo]

Kinda reminds me of count bubba or count bubba’s revenge near the middle and especially at the coda.

[joshuabell]

I played into the dog house my first year in jazz band and then found this...
