This arrangement calls for a very lazy feel. Keep saxes quiet behind the piano solo (measures 21-25), and work on the split triplets in measures 35-36 since they offer a great opportunity to produce some clean ensemble playing. Measure 43 is very full before the chart quiets down to a whisper for the ending.

Recorded on the Sammy Sammy Nestico CD This Is The Moment, this revised arrangement does not call for flutes, woodwinds, French horns or tuba, though some additional personnel (second keyboard/synthesizer, mallets, 2 percussion) are needed. This is a real specialty number that can't be played by every group, but bear in mind that it sounds more difficult than it really is. It is great fun to play, individual parts are not extreme, and the bright tempo doesn't call for a lot of fancy syncopation. With some committed rehearsal, this will work well on a diversified program.

This slow down and dirty 12/8 blues has it all! Lines drenched in triplets, trumpets with plunger mutes, a stop time section with wailing saxophones, more diminished chords per square inch than regular blues…who could ask for anything more?
