Description
Looking for a solid swing chart for your next performance? “Blues Wisely” from the pen of Bret Zvacek is the perfect choice. An infectious swing or shuffle groove, great ensemble writing and plenty of space for solos all combine to create a chart that will be a favorite of both the band and the audience. Great writing!
Program Notes
In the 1970’s and 80’s, the bands of Buddy Rich, Woody Herman, Maynard Ferguson and others toured all over the U.S. (and the world), bringing the sound of the modern big band to towns everywhere. “Blues Wisely” is inspired by Don Menza’s “Groove Blues”, which was recorded by Louis Bellson and his big band.
