The tune, a show piece for bari - was written by Billy Baker, although - as one of the band alumni remembers it - "Mr. Charles might have done some dictation" on it.
If it wasn't written with Leroy "Hog" Cooper in mind, the big man certainly claimed it.
The band in Madrid: Jeff Conrad, Bob Coassin, Phil Guilbeau, Jack Evans - trumpets; Wally Huff, Ken Tussing, Glen (Champ) Childress, Steve Davis - trombones; Andy Ennis, Clifford Solomon, Ed Pratt, James Clay - saxophones; Leroy Cooper - baritone saxophone, band leader; John Bryant - drums; Joe Harris - bass; Tony Matthews - guitar; Ernest Vantrease - keyboards.
