You've Got What? - (Level V) This fast swinging chart was inspired by Thad Jones’ classic composition, Fingers. The tune is based on Bb Rhythm changes, thus the title! There’s plenty of opportunity for multiple jazz soloists with backgrounds. The piece builds throughout, ending with a virtuosic shout chorus that will thrill your audience. It’s challenging, but rewarding for the players and audience! Note: This is the 2006 revision; most of the chart is in Bb instead of the original Eb, which is significantly less difficult than the original version. (8 Brass)
