Tapspace Jokers Wild by Brian Slawson

Brian Slawson's Jokers Wild is a catchy, lighthearted Vaudeville-style ensemble for younger players, though more advanced groups can easily put it together as an encore.

It's playable as a trio, but can be expanded to incorporate your entire studio by doubling up on the keyboard parts and adding in extra, optional players.
