Clambake

Clambake is a classic up-tempo tenor battle with smokin’ a cappella sax section choruses a la Maynard’s Cruisin’ for a Bluesin’. And the whole thing sits on top of the always-catchy Bo-Diddley beat. And, in case your second tenor player isn’t quite battle-ready, you can feature your lead alto player instead.

With notated rhythm parts and inclusive instrumentation, Clambake is just the party-time earworm you need to close a concert or festival set.
