Description:
Crew Cut is a really bouncy swing chart with an infectious feel, written and arranged by Jerry Gray for his own post-war band. Our transcription of his chart features solo space for Tenor 1 and Trombone 2, and the Tenor takes the lead in all of the reed passages too. There is a fair amount of plunger work in the brass sections, so much opportunity for choreography on-stage. At a tempo of 165 b.p.m. it is perfect for the swing dance crowd too. There are no sax doubles.
