Commissioned by the Centennial High School Jazz Ensemble under the direction of David Pietsch, this cleverly conceived chart is dedicated to Frank Vargas to commemorate this “arts-friendly” administrator’s retirement from the Phoenix (AZ) area school district. Based on the chord progression to “On The Street Where You Live”, this swing original for proficient groups offers interesting playing for every member of the big band. In addition to brief quotes from other songs containing the word “street” (“Green Dolphin Street”, “On The Sunny Side Of The Street”), you’ll hear a couple measures of “On The Street…”, plus short quotes from “Second Time Around” and “Nica’s Dream”. Exciting ensemble writing, solos for trumpet and piano, and a humorous “ricky-tick” section make this energetic swing chart great fun to play. Duration 4:55.
