Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Ballad - Difficult

Publisher: Alfred Music

From the Quincy Jones/Sammy Nestico CD titled "Basie & Beyond." Composed by the Grammy winning composer/producer Quincy Jones, this is an emotional ballad for either tenor or soprano saxophone soloist that will touch the hearts of performers and audience alike. Lush chords and a tender piano introduction set the mood for this superb chart arranged in collaboration by Quincy and Sammy Nestico. This chart was originally written as the Gymnastics Theme for the 1984 Olympiad. Playable by an experienced jazz ensemble, this is a sensational ballad! Strongly recommended.
