In the beginning it's mostly tutti ensemble then the saxes are featured on the bridge and the 2nd verse.There is a solo for Trumpet and a full ensemble out chorus to finish it off.

With its roots in early jazz, “Basin Street Blues” is a great way to introduce the concept of “call and response” to your young players. This arrangement scored for 6 horns features solid ensemble scoring and a stop-time accompaniment for the solo section. Easy to learn, yet very effective.
