The spotlight is on your alto saxophone soloist in this new pop-ballad composition, but the interesting cascading lines in the winds and neat harmonic twists make this piece interesting for all the players in your ensemble. The arrangement has been carefully scored to make sure the soloist can be heard even if you don't have sound reinforcement equipment.

Now arranged for big band with the same crisp, Charlie Christian-like melody, half-time shuffle feel, and chromatic planing chord progression that will be right at home with your medium-advanced group.

This new advanced level edition is taken directly from the original ink parts that were on the stands at the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra (now the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra) debut performance in February 1966 and continues to be played by the group Monday nights at the Village Vanguard in New York City. Originally commissioned by Count Basie for an entire album of Thad Jones' music, however Basie never made the record, instead suggesting that Thad start his own band. Low Down still maintains that swinging Basie mindset and is a 32- measure AABA form. Its basic foundations are a relaxed but powerful rhythm section with a driving ride cymbal beat and crisp hi-hat, underpinning saxes and brass that are tight, and always on the back of the beat. Duration 3:40.
