An expansion by Mike Vax of Willie's Three More Foxes, the famous blues originally written for Maynard Ferguson. Thus, as one would expect, there are some range demands (g'''). With rhythm section (piano, guitar, bass and drums). A great classic and great fun to play. Everyone has the opportunity to solo. From the TRPTS Jazz Quartet Series
