A delightful blues-gospel feature for your guitarist, “Doctor Spector” is dedicated to a surgeon I had the pleasure of working with while undergoing a hernia repair. The chart is available in G or in F depending on the range and capability of your band. The G key is a bit brighter but stretches the trumpets higher, while the F key is more in line with typical high school band expectations. A sure-fire crowd-pleaser if your guitarist has a great sense of improvisatory pacing.

Grade 4.5.

G version: Trumpet 1 up to E, Trombone 1 up to G

F version: Trumpet 1 up to D, Trombone 1 up to F
