The shuffle is one of the staple grooves of the big band, and this one jumps right after the opening lick and never looks back. Swinging melodies and punchy accompaniment figures are featured throughout. The shout chorus is ideal for teaching ensemble phrasing and articulation. All First Place for Jazz selections feature moderate ranges, notated rhythm section parts, and open solo sections. (Shuffle • 4:15)
