Recorded in 1971 by the Count Basie Orchestra on the album Have A Nice Day, this Nestico classic opens with a short ensemble blast at fortissimo-plus before two trombones (1st and 2nd) present the main theme as a dynamic duo. Then 3rd trombone carries an improvised solo chorus, followed by an ensemble section and a replay of the trombone duo. The chart closes out with short ad lib solos -- 1st trombone, then 2nd trombone -- over a sustained ensemble chord.
