Paul Merrill, director of the Cornell University Jazz Ensemble (Ithaca, NY), commissioned this engaging bossa nova original for proficient groups. Don't let the title fool you, though, because there's an abundance of subtle, yet challenging material here requiring a mature approach from the ensemble. The melody is based on a simple four-note motif played by Miles Davis on his album Tutu. Brown later adapted this score for small-group and recorded it on his CD Night Waves (Brown Cats Productions/BC9501). Guitar, tenor sax, and flugelhorn are featured in melodic and solo roles. Duration 5:35.

This original for advancing groups definitely lives up to its name as it transitions through a variety of moods, swinging hard every step of the way. Adding to the appeal is an 11-bar chorale that's played slowly and freely, followed by a jazz waltz section. As in many of Lennie's works, this piece contains a great sax soli and a driving shout chorus. A guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson comes with each set. Duration ca. 6:00.

The main portion of this chart is slow swing similar to Slide Hampton's Frame for the Blues, but it is interspersed with vignettes that use all the colors of the contemporary jazz ensemble. Cascading bell-tones and a lush written Trumpet solo start the tune off which leads to the first slow swing section. A great choice for a contrast chart at a festival!
