The Right Idea

The Right Idea

$80

Charlie Barnet wrote a trio of “Idea” pieces: one that paid tribute to Duke Ellington, one that parodied the unhip bands of the day, and this one, The Right Idea, a piece that Barnet felt represented a truly quintessential swing chart. With solo space for several instruments and some great riffs and lines, you can tell right away that Barnet was spot on! 7-piece arrangement also available.
