Billy Byers, known for his wildly successful arrangements for the Count Basie Orchestra, provided them with some of their best music ever performed and recorded. Originally recorded on the album Frankly Basie, "South of the Border" has it all -- Basie piano solos (written out), roaring ensemble passages, a swinging saxophone soli, and some compelling key changes. There is solo space for tenor saxophone, trumpet, and piano. If you want your band and audiences to experience to joy of Basie, then this chart is a must!
