Boogie Beast ♫ jazz sextet composed and arranged by Rich Willey

$15.00

Imagine you’re playing a tune at Birdland  in New York City, and Lionel Hampton comes in and listens to you. And imagine that his favorite tune is one that you wrote, and he even asks you if you would make it into a big band chart for him.

That’s exactly what happened with Rich and Boogie Beast. 😊
