Featuring a walking bass line and an easy swing groove, piano carries the solo work in this contemporary score by the great Thad Jones. In the final half, the sound of muted brass contributes to the intimate bluesy mood. A piano solo 'ala Basie' closes it all out beautifully. Duration 4:40.

This accessible ballad, penned during Thad's later years in Denmark, is a rubato study in full-band expression. It opens with fortissimo brass, transitions to a quiet midsection showcasing saxes/woodwinds, then recaps the strong opening before going out very quietly with soprano (or alto) sax and trombones only in the final bars. No improvised solos are required. Duration 4:00.
