Blues For P.C. – Daryl Johns

This fun, swinging blues head was written by Daryl Johns at the age of 13. Daryl recorded it in an overdubbed 4-bass arrangement for our "Tribute To Paul Chambers" project. A score and parts for this arrangement are available, as well as Minus You melody parts for all instrumentalists to play with this unique multi-bass setting.
