Cherry Juice

As recorded by the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra on the album New Life, this fast swing 'opus' starts with a full-band statement and a short piano solo before the flugelhorn soloist steps into the spotlight. Then tenor carries a solo chorus, followed by a powerful ensemble shout, an incredible sax soli, a 16-bar piano solo, a short band recap of the main theme, and closing coda. Duration 5:45.
