A medium tempo swinger featuring plenty of call and response hence the title 'Cross Talk.' A must for your library as it presents the classic big band jazz sound with the emphasis on call & response....

The second and more difficult of the two 'Sassy's'. This one mirrors Thad's original in form and style. Slightly richer voicings than SCM-001 but not an overly high lead trumpet part.
