Tommy Dorsey

TD's Boogie Woogie

Tommy Dorsey first recorded a version Clarence Smith's Boogie Woogie in the late 1930's. This chart is not it. It's his much better effort which is known as TD's Boogie Woogie, and is an excellent development of the original, featuring Piano. We have written out the Piano part in full, and be warned, as it's not easy. We have also written out TD's closing Trombone solo. This chart takes great sectional and ensemble discipline to make it sound right, so your players will need to be on top form. Both Altos and both Tenors double Clarinet. A superb transcription by Alan Glasscock.
