"Catch Me if You Can!"Ā is a one-of-a-kind groovy, upbeat swinger.Ā It has meaty lines for your sax section, an infectious groove for your rhythm section, and funĀ pedal tones and tight clusters for your brass players.
"Catch Me" isĀ a vamp-like solo vehicle for alto and tenor sax.Ā TheĀ wholeĀ piece is capped off with a soaring shout chorus and a thrilling surprise ending.
"Catch Me" has been used by numerous collegiate and advanced high school jazz bands, as well as manyĀ all-state jazz bands. It also makes a fantastic festival closer.
Thanks to theĀ University of Northern Iowa Jazz Band IĀ for the fantastic recording you hear above, from their CDĀ Strange Wonderful.
