The Back Room Romp (A Contrapuntal Stomp)
The Back Room Romp (A Contrapuntal Stomp)
as performed by Rex Stewart and His 52nd Street Stompers
$60
The Back Room Romp is basically a simple blues in Ab, but there is a twist: the head is a series of building independent lines, thus a “Contrapuntal Stomp.” Every horn player gets a solo chorus. The lead trumpet part is a bit of a blow for level 3, but this was written for longtime Ellington sideman, trumpeter Rex Stewart, who had the chops to play all day. Another level 3 factor: the alto often hits high written Eb.
