LaBarbera, John: Sassy Strut

Recorded by Buddy Rich on the album Stick It, this driving original with attitude assigns the primary solos to tenor and alto sax, with the drummer contributing several well-placed fills throughout. Lead trumpet will need solid high chops since a good share of that part hangs in or near the 6th octave range (top note G6). Tenor saxes have opt. soprano sax or flute/piccolo doubles.
