Missed The Ballgame Blues

Medium swing. One fat chord introduces a bass solo before the actual intro and head are played. A puckish melody is developed throughout. This chart also features a small band soli for mixed instruments that leads to tenor and piano solos. A mighty shout leads back to the intro, head and out. As with all of Hagans' charts, the lead lines are derived directly from his distinctive improvisatory melodic language, giving the players and listeners a unique experience. Soprano and flute on original score but alternate alto and tenor parts included. Recorded on 'Future North' by Tim Hagans and the Norrbotten Big Band.
