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!

This is one very cool and tasty ballad. After a short 4 bar piano intro, the melody is played by a quartet made up of your strongest players - trumpet, alto, tenor and trombone. The whole Band joins in for some great ensemble work (trumpets never leave the staff) which leads into an easy but very hip piano solo. Then more great ensemble, and finally the piano is again featured at the end. The piano part is completely written out, and the right hand has a single note line throughout. There's nothing high, loud or fast here - but what a great way to impress and audience by showcasing your band's ability to play with A Gentle Touch.
