A medium swinger evocative of Benny Golson's writing from the early 't960s. Challenging yet logical chord changes, some interesting groove changes, and nice 2 horn writing. One Eyed Toast - by Dave Hibbard. Title cut from DHQ album of same name. Great opener begins with rousing intro and then settles into neat Latin tune over an altered minor blues.
Lines are easy to play, harmonies based on the harmonic minor can be difficult for young soloists.
This is a dramatic chart well worth the effort required. Scored for trp, ts, gtr, p, b, d. This chart will require a rhythm section that can move easily between the styles. Player s Career Guide- by Dave Hibbard. Twenty Five Steps to a Successful Band Program - by Dave Hibbard.
