Description

A timeless jazz standard with an irresistible melody built on a rising sequence, this fully flexible arrangement works with as few as five players plus rhythm, or a full ensemble---winds, strings, or any combination. Ranges are limited, and a transcribed solo (plus an easier version) is included for all instruments. Piano and bass parts feature notated comping to support the youngest players. A versatile, accessible, and endlessly playable chart.

Whether you have just five players (plus rhythm) or an unusual mix of instruments, this chart has you covered. Some ideal combinations include:

  • Jazz Combo: alto sax, trumpet, tenor sax, trombone, bari sax, and rhythm section (as recorded)
  • Saxophone section: alto, alto, tenor, tenor, bari, and rhythm section
  • Brass quintet: trumpet, trumpet, horn, trombone, tuba, and rhythm section
  • String orchestra: violin, violin, viola, cello, section bass, and rhythm section
  • Or go wild--mix and match to your heart's content
  • For soloists, tenor saxophonist Evan Drybread's recorded solo is thoughtfully transcribed on the back of each part (appropriately transposed, of course). There's also an easier suggested solo, crafted from Evan's original, to spark creativity in developing players.
