Description:
There are quite a few charts in the Kenton Library that stand out because of their extreme originality. This is one of them. It is also a very demanding and exciting chart. The melody and harmonic structures are based for the most part on the whole tone scales (as is Turtle Talk ). There is space for tenor and trumpet solos. This was one of the more popular charts that the band played throughout the 1060's. It is recorded on the 'Adventures in Jazz' CD (available from Sierra Music). This piece has not been converted to computer notation, and the parts (no score) are exactly as played by the band. This chart requires 1 alto, 2 tenor, 1 baritone and 1 bass saxophones. 5-5-5-3 (no score)
