Hot Toddy is a so-called evergreen in the bigband repertoire. Composer Ralph Flanagan (1914 – 1995) himself was a successful bandleader in the United States of America. The piece was very popular and was also regularly performed by several famous bands such as the Glenn Miller Band. A fine characteristic is the pulsing part played by the baritone sax (a bass clarinet is also possible). Here is a fine piece of swing music!
