Flip Lid (reduction)

Flip Lid (reduction)

$60

Flip Lid comes from the peak of Les Brown’s band, coming out of the swing era with Lunceford and Basie sensibilities, but tapping into the bebop era of Dizzy’s and Woody Herman’s bands. Featuring the horn section throughout the head and a well balanced shout chorus, this swingin’ chart sits right in between two eras of jazz. The big band version is a soft level 4 but the reduction gets a little tougher and makes this closer to a true level 4. Optional guitar part included. The * solo indication below is applicable to the version you purchase. Big Band arrangement also available.
