Ashamed to admit it, but I just really started listening to Wardell. He is the perfect blend of my favorite saxophonists. Lester, Bird, Stitt, and his own thing.
Anyway, this is a perfect swing meets bop chorus on the One O’Clock Jump. A twelve bar blues. Basie plays the first few choruses in F Major, then modulates straight to Db for the horn solos. Pretty cool. Have fun with this. Listen to the track to get the articulation.
This is written for Guitar, transpose accordingly.
