A gentle, somewhat quirky chart from the Glenn Miller band of 1941 written by Jerry Gray as a two trumpet feature. This tune grows on you, has an easy tempo and is really smooth. The hook is is in the harmonic structure - a rising and falling sequence up and down the scale chords of D, and the bouncy sax riff will leave you humming the thing. We have written out all of the Trumpet solos, with mute indications and articulations, and have included the little Piano fills near the end of the piece, and the drum licks too. There are no sax doubles. An easy chart, aside from a couple of trumpet high notes (1st & 2nd to written C6), which plays really well.
