Slidin’ Down the Mississippi
- Composer
- Clifton Taylor
A Musical Excursion for Jazz Trombone and Concert Band. Three early twentieth century tunes provide the geographical and musical framework for this fun musical romp: St. Louis Blues and Memphis Blues by W.C. Handy, and Way Down Yonder in New Orleans by Henry Creamer and Jay Layton. Two solo parts are provided, medium and advanced, differing in the complexity of the suggested solo material appearing in the ad lib sections. Take your band on a musical riverboat cruise down the muddy Mississippi, and don't forget to bring along the best trombone player you can find!
