Lewis, Mike: Slinky

Continuing his contributions to educational jazz repertoire, professional composer/arranger Mike Lewis has penned this relaxed swing original for advancing groups. A great vehicle for teaching blend, balance, and phrasing, solos are also provided for alto sax and trumpet. Features of this chart include nice saxophone section writing and solid background figures. Although it's not technically a Count Basie piece, it employs a similarly laid-back approach. A guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson is included.
