Written by band member Kenny Graham for Ted Heath's 1956 Australian tour, Kings Cross Climax is a big drum feature. The chart opens at a rapid speed, with a drum solo and a big pyramid build-up from the band, before the Trumpets take the melody line in unison. The middle of the chart drops to a half-time, quasi-march feel, with an open drum solo at the end, before reverting to tempo 1 for the shout. This chart is a fast, high energy, power-packed showpiece that makes a great concert feature for your drummer. There are no sax doubles.
