Jazz Ensemble It's Just a Blues...Isn't It? is a medium swing altered 16 bar blues form in "F" The melody first time features a trio (Flute (Alto 1), Tpt. 2, and Bari Sax) then adds more instruments the second time through. Solo changes are written in Tpt. 2, but solo changes are included on all parts for the open solos section. The title is in tribute to a former colleague of mine who (while leading our big band and not remembering what type of chart was coming up in performance) would always say "...It's Just a Blues, Isn't It?"
