Blues On The Double

Blues on the Double is a very rare Count Basie chart. Written by Buck Clayton & generally more associated with the Ellington band, this Basie version swings harder & offers more solo opportunities for Alto, Trumpet & Tenor. Perhaps unusually for a Basie chart there is no solo spot for Piano, though you could swap for a Sax solo if you wished. The chart is as per the recording sample, except that the Trumpet solo is swapped for a Clarinet solo instead. There are no written sax doubles. This is a driving up-temp swing dance chart.
