Woodchopper’s Ball

Woodchopper’s Ball

$80

Woodchopper’s Ball was Woody Herman’s first big hit and would continue to be rewritten and rearranged for decades as a major anthem for him and his various Herds. Plenty of solo space and easy riffing can be found here over a medium tempo Db blues. This is a great, authentic introduction to the swing era and the blues form makes it playable for a band of any level! Saxes are CAATT.
