King Porter Stomp

King Porter Stomp

$80

When Benny Goodman hired Fletcher Henderson, he turned the band’s sound upside down, ushering in a new era of popular music. King Porter Stomp is demonstrative of the Henderson arranging style and is truly a Swing Era anthem. Solo space for several instruments, lots of tight ensemble work, and a roaring finish at the perfect dancing tempo makes this a quintessential piece in any big band’s library! Sax configuration is CAATT. 7-piece arrangement also available.
