“Joe Avery’s Piece” is a song written by the eponymous trombonist that is popular at second line parades.
The song is based on a simple 12-bar blues form and has a very singable melody.
Before the melody starts, the trumpet plays a loud, high call to which the crowd responds, “Hey!”
The band then proceeds to play the melody while second line parade festivities ensue.
Makes a great concert opener or closer
