The Jody Grind

The Jody Grind (Horace Silver)

Horace Silver recorded this song with his quintet in 1966. At that time instrumental and in minor.

The naughty lyrics were added later and the song has been sung by many of which Dee Dee Bridgewater is one of my favourites. The song is notorious for it's challenging last 4 bars in the melody. Apart from the vocal theme at beginning and end, my vocal big band arrangement has an instrumental part in the middle and lots of room for soloists. If you would like an mp3 of the score played by samples just let me know.
