Jessika Smith's "Buddy’s Blues" is a character piece in the old-school big band style. The melody of the tune is made up of simply, catchy riffs while the brass captivate the audience with surprisingly abrupt articulations.
Solo sections are written for piano and tenor sax 2, although the chart can easily be opened up for more solos. Lead trumpet is featured in this tune both in written parts and short, Maynard Ferguson-like, improvisatory interjections. These lead trumpet solo parts can be removed for performance by younger ensembles, and the tune will still sound wonderful! Buddy’s Blues is a simple chart that will swing hard no matter what.
