This song was actually made as a tribute to somebody who died, the piano is supposed to be his heartbeat. That's what the note basically says summed up on the inside of the score.

Finally another part with a bass trombone part that goes lower than bari sax

There was more applause from that last low bass trombone note than there was for the solos at our jazz fest

Had the honour as an alto sax player to play the solo for this piece last year, we won gold nationally and it was one of the best experiences I've had as a saxophonist

Playing this in high school as a 2nd alto, I've always hated slow songs but this one took my heart away

I play the B bone... Man is it fun! Those pedal G's and Ab's. And that pedal Bb in the beginning is just good.

This is a masterpiece from beginning to end! The transitions between swing to samba, the beginning and ends, and main melody being played throughout the whole song makes this one of my favorite jazz pieces. What an amazing piece in memory of someone who loved jazz. Rest in Peace Shane Albaugh.

Played this for our concert. Half the tenor solo was changed to a trombone solo that I improved. Really cool event and piece

My high school jazz band played this yesterday at the last fall season comp, really emotional as well as knowing what this song was written for

LOVE THIS. The ending was copy-pasted and I think it was a bit of a missed opportunity to not have that motif overlap over itself at the very end so the final chord could be this cool held-out thing with lots of voices, but I love the layering of the instruments when the groove comes in, and that sax solo was so good

We played this and everyone clapped in the middle when it stopped, right before the piano plays again

I'm playing tenor on this song for my high school for this festival season and it is amazing. Easily the best jazz chart I have played.
