What Tenor Battle?!

Composed by Drew Zaremba (as recorded on Two Twos)

“What Tenor Battle!?” was written with the frustration that the tenors often get to enjoy a fun battle on stage, but when do the altos ever get to do that? This chart answers that question with a fun, fast alto battle over Ab rhythm changes. Recorded by the Two O’ Clock Lab Band in 2011, we hope you enjoy this!
