Swingin’ for the Fences

Based on the changes to “Sweet Georgia Brown,” Swingin’ for the Fences can be fast or if you have the horses, really fast. In this Gordon Goodwin original, the solo section provides space for alto, tenor, trumpet, trombone, and piano or vibes. The title says it all when the full ensemble gets its wish – a rompin’, stompin’ tutti section that will put your band on the map. Optional parts provided for vibes, flute (2nd alto), and soprano sax (1st alto). A brilliant chart! As recorded on Gordon Goodwin’s Big Phat Band: Swingin’ for the Fences. This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.
