This top-notch, bluesy original is the perfect vehicle for teaching both shuffle and straight-ahead swing style. Great riffs, reasonable ranges, and solid ensemble scoring make this an easy and fun chart for your band. An optional solo section includes suggested solos, and the chart sounds exceptional even with limited instrumentation. Ending with a shout chorus that starts with a whisper and builds to a roar, “Livin’ Large” will be a hit with audiences and students alike.
