Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Ballad - Medium Difficult

Publisher: Walrus Music Publishing

Composed as an on-stage sightreading piece for the Virginia Commonwealth University Jazz Orchestra I, this tune is a medium-swing ballad in the style of the Count Basie Orchestra, as often penned by Sammy Nestico and Quincy Jones. While there are adventurous harmonies within these solo changes, they fit the style. The solo part is written within Trumpet 4; but a solo-change sheet is also provided for Concert, Bb, and Eb instruments as needed.
