Big, brassy & blustering swing which seems never to stop building. Some dbl.. Goes from swing to 4 bas Dixie feel to swing. Piano & Bari solos. No score.

Up tempo swing. Yup! It's the old standard, its got it all - from an a cappella ens to a Dixieland band & a killer shout section. Solo changes in each sec.

Very up-swing starts out with a three piece be-bop group who play the head & solos before the big band joins in. Again lots of ensemble & plenty of places to blow.

Funk rock head that alternates into up swing. This chart is a great mesh of rock horns & Cookin' big band. Lots of funk syncopation's. Trpt to D.

Medium swing chart w/a lot of ensemble all the way through. Based on the changes of another Dixie tune w/approx. the same name. Nice spot for the tenor to play the solo. Trpt. To D.
