Originally recorded by Charlie Parker in 1951, “My Little Suede Shoes” is a ubiquitous jazz standard. My goal with this chart was to add a little fun to the brass quintet repertoire with something that approached a jazz standard as originally intended. Just because something is set for brass quintet does not mean that it can’t swing!
Solos for trumpet, trombone, and tuba on this one. A little foray into a big band shout chorus takes us out of the solo section before hinting at “On Green Dolphin Street” and, finally, finishing with one final time through the melody for good measure. I had fun with this one and hope you do too! Check out my band playing this LIVE on our New Mexico tour:
