Shug's Showtime Blues for Big Band
Composed and arranged by Hugh Levey

This blues with a swing is suitable for bands of all levels. It opens with a fanfare-like passage for saxes, followed by trumpets and trombones, before getting into the swinging blues groove. After the first two choruses, the opening returns as a bridge passage before the "open for solos" middle section.

Solos are based on a 12 bar blues pattern and should be 24 bars long. A sample written out solo is included in Tenor Sax 1 and Trombone 2, for those who are less confident at improvising. The main blues returns with a bit more pizazz before ending on the fanfare like passage for the whole band.

Duration: 2'10 to 4' depending on number of solos.
