Work Overview
This expansion of a New-Orleansy tune originally wrote for Jazz quintet is a lot of fun, and an opportunity for any band member to take a bluesy solo. Drums are prominent throughout, and encouraged to put their own spin on the groove. The Trudge requires a characterful and raucous approach - restraint and neatness won't work here!
