Count Basie

920 Special

920 Special is a song covered by many of the great Big Bands. Ours is the Basie version taken from the 1960's and forms part of our Basie series ready for his Centenary in 2004. It features some great sectional work and interplay betwen Saxes and Trumpets throughout the chart. Taken at a slightly more relaxed tempo than his earlier recordings, this chart features solo space for Alto, Trumpet and Tenor, plus we have written out Count Basie's piano solos and fills for you, though your pianist can always improvise fom the chords. A good dance number too, for the Shag and Lindy Hop set. No Sax doubles.
