Commissioned by the jazz division of the Illinois Music Educators Association for their All-State Jazz Ensemble in the year 2000, this medium-advanced, bright swing chart holds challenges for all. From the opening horn line to the driving shout chorus, a solid sense of time is essential. An open solo section may be expanded as desired, and in his score notes, Doug recommends that the ability of the band should determine the performance tempo.

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.
