Skunk Hollow Blues

$60

Skunk Hollow Blues is a very laid back colorful blues and a fantastic rare gem of the swing era. The intro and head features plunger trumpet on one line, bari and trombone on another, and the alto on a third melody, a rare true 3-part counterpoint! Riffs and triadic voicings back up a couple of solos, leading to an ending chorus that is half based on the head and half new material full of creeping chromatic motion full of dynamics. The trombone part has very little rest and high Bbs near the end, making this tough for level 2.

A full analysis of the arrangement can be found here.
