Tip Toe

As recorded by the great Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra on Consummation (Blue Note), highlights in this swing masterpiece include a bouncy bop melody, crisp articulations, and a surprising soli for trombones/bass/drums/piano. Solos are given to trumpet, drums, alto and piano, followed by a tight shout that demands full-group precision. Rhythm section parts are partially notated with chords cued.
