Keep Punchin’

Keep Punchin’

as performed by the Lee Norman Orchestra

$80

Also known as “The Big Apple Contest,” this is a swing dancer staple and a must-have for any band that will ever play for swing dancers! After the famous simple intro a brass trio work plays off of a sax riff, and from there on it’s simple burnin’ riffs all the way home, with lots of great brass plunger work. Not much is known about the authorship behind this tune or even the band that played it, but you can read a little more about this very popular piece of dance music here. 7-piece arrangement also available.
