Pickin’ the Cabbage

Pickin’ the Cabbage

$80

Written for Cab Calloway’s band, Pickin’ the Cabbage is Dizzy Gillespie’s first ever big band composition. The slick tune features a great melody for a trio and many hints of modern bebop and afro-cuban music that would later be Gillespie’s trademark. Alto 1 doubles on clarinet. 7-piece arrangement also available.
