20 – Victor: From Cannon Fodder to Firepower

Opening the second half of the DJA album, Victor is a swinging barnstormer packed with fire, groove, and deep roots. Originally known as Cannon Fodder in the Nigel era, this Alan Ganley chart showcases standout solos from Dean on baritone and Jacob on trombone, plus a late-session burst of trumpet fireworks from Tom and Damien. Mark, Reuben, and Tom reflect on the tune’s journey from rehearsal rooms to vinyl grooves, with insights into arrangement changes, solo swaps, and a thunderous close to recording day two.
