Easy-Medium

Double Agent

February 17, 2019 – 10:29 pm

Grade 3

A high energy thriller working both sides of the street. Streetwise by day and suave and sophisticated by night. This chart covers all the bases from the opening rock guitar riff to the sax soli quote of Miles Davis” solo on “So What” and back again. A great showcase for the entire band. Solos for tenor sax (swing), drums (rock), and guitar (rock god status) as the chart drives to its energetic conclusion. It was selected as an JW Peppers Editors Choice.

This chart can be purchased from Baker’s Jazz and More and many retail dealers.
