Par BRICUSSE LESLIE. Arranged for the new easier level of the Little Big Band Series, this familiar standard is set in a slow and sultry swing style with the melody traded between the saxes and trumpets.

Based On A Version By Clare Fischer. Par FISCHER CLARE. This is an orchestration of Clare Fischer's version found on the recording Latin Pattern. The piano introduction is Clare's from the recording Alone Together. The piano then starts the latin groove setting of this traditional German song. There is an open solo over a vamp that keeps building and leads to a very exciting ensemble passage. The theme is then restated and the coda brings it home./ Répertoire / Big Band

Exploring a wide mix of seemingly unrelated sections the genius and eccentricity of Mingus is apparent as the piece comes together ingrand fashion finally settling in on a medium swing groove (for a while).
