Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Swing - Medium Difficult

Publisher: Alfred Publishing

From the Quincy Jones/Sammy Nestico CD titled "Basie & Beyond." A medium groove swing tune that fits like an old shoe-so comfortable and everything works just right. Composed and arranged by the legendary Sammy Nestico for the late Harry "Sweets" Edison, this chart screams Count Basie. And speaking of swinging, there is a glorious ensemble section that brings it all together that is so very sweet! Sammy includes solo space for trumpet, piano, 2nd alto sax, tenor and trombone. This chart is not technically difficult, but dynamics and cohesive ensemble playing are a must. A wonderful arrangement that belongs in every jazz library!
