This Chart is an homage to J.J. Johnson and his playing on “Blue Trombone” arranged for Jazz Trombone Octet. It features many lines for his solo and arrangement of blue trombone, as well as many of his solo lines from most of his records. The chart has an open solo section, some fun soli material, a brief walking bass solo, and a New Orleans breakdown and build to finish off the song with a bang.
