The Heat Is On (1969) - big band by James Mackie
This was an early jazz, blues type piece I wrote representing New York gangsters 'feeling the heat,' or being 'squeezed', that is, under survellance from the police or FBI. It can either be played with a slight latin feel, or purely in swing where the drummer and guitarist ad lib or fill the bars to my chords.
