Description:
Composer and educator Anthony Susi weaves several traditional spirituals together in a swinging medley that stays in one tempo throughout. The chart starts with a Gene Krupa style drum solo that breaks into a joyous swing at measure 21. The Krupa style returns with the tune "Wade in the Water" that is cleverly partnered with the "Jericho" melody. There is a call and response section between the Saxes and Brass that leads to an eight-bar solo section over easy changes.
