This may just be the most difficult Supersax arrangement. Recorded at a blistering 150 per half note (and even faster live in Japan), this chart is extremely difficult to pull off as-recorded. Part of the melody is shared with optional trumpet and trombone. In addition, the saxes are featured with just drums (no piano or bass) for a section of the arrangement. Included is an open solo section (this tune is based on the chord changes to 'Cherokee'). Good luck!
