Composer's notes: 'Brisket n Ribs is inspired by my love for
and obsession with Central Texas BBQ.
The proper cooking of smokey tender
meat requires patience and skill, as does
the proper execution of Basie-style
swing music. Trombones and
saxophones get the lions share of the
melody in this chart, with trumpets taking
over during solo transitions. The Shout
chorus uses a hocketing technique to
break the melody into three independent
lines. The key to a successful
performance of this chart is to relax,
have fun, make like Basie and COUNT! ' - Jim Hopson, phonosmusic.com
