This chart is a fun tribute to Regents Professor Emeritus Jim Riggs of the University of North Texas. This chart in the Nestico style captures his personality and sense of humour while providing a focus on the saxophone section. The chart begins in the key of F and modulates to Bb. Written solos are provided for alto sax and trumpet or piano. A swinging shout chorus drives to a restatement of the melody before bringing everything to a close with the ensemble. A great sounding chart for a great saxophonist, teacher, and friend. Trumpet range is to written G on top of the staff.
