This arrangement of the song Little Pony (originally recorded by Count Basie, and later by Lambert Hendricks and Ross, and the Pointer Sisters) is the perfect opener or closer for your program. The fast swing feel has lots of opportunity for soloists to demonstrate their skills on some really interesting, fun and rhythmic melodies.
