Here is the Supersax version of Moose the Mooche as recorded on the 1988 Stone Bird record. No introduction is really needed. This is a very advanced chart exactly as-recorded by Supersax. This particular arrangement was recorded earlier on the 1971 'Supersax Plays Bird' record with trumpet and trombone parts. This later arrangement skipped those brass parts but did feature a trumpet solo by Conte Candoli. There is no trumpet part - he improvised over 'Rhythm Changes.' An open solo section is included.
Like the other Supersax arrangements published by Jazz Lines, this is not a transcription. The original, hand-written manuscript has been used to produce this arrangement. This has been published with the authorization of Med Flory.
