First recorded by Benny Goodman in 1937, Sugar Foot Stomp is a hard-driving, up-tempo swing chart that features solos from Clarinet (Alto 2) and Trumpet. We have augmented the chart up to full 5,4,4,4 instrumentation. The Clarinet solo can be played as-written or improvised from the chords, though the Trumpet solo is to be played as-written. The reeds require both Altos and Tenors to double Clarinet, with Baritone doubling Alto. Due to the tempo of the chart, nimble fingers and tight sectional work are demanded from the players. Not an easy chart to play, se we have graded it at the medium / advanced level.
