The Right Idea (reduction)

$60

Charlie Barnet wrote a trio of “Idea” pieces: one that paid tribute to Duke Ellington, one that parodied the unhip bands of the day, and this one, The Right Idea, a piece that Barnet felt represented a quintessential swing chart. With solo space for several instruments and some great riffs and lines, you can tell right away that Barnet was spot on! Big Band arrangement also available.
