Caribbean Clipper

This up-temp swing chart features the piano, (originally Mel Powell) as well as the drums in the shout chorus. A classic Miller technique is used to propel this number - unison saxes with brass punches providing rhythmic support, with the melody inverted later on to the brass, with sax figures backing. A wonderfully middle passage of two trumpet pairs playing counterbalancing lines, one set open, one pair with wah-wah plungers, & both backed by glissing trombones & fill-phrased saxes is quite unique. A must for anyone's library. Sax doubles: 1st Alto to Clarinet. 1st Tenor to Clarinet. Baritone to Alto.
