It’s Awf’ly Nice Just Walkin’ With You is a beautiful ballad from the trusted pen of Rob Vuono, Jr., showcasing your lead tenor as well as the entire band. A wistful melody strolls across a lovely chord progression at a leisurely pace, as varied tone colors of velvety bucket-muted brass and lushly harmonized sax solis brilliantly combine to give this chart all of the hallmarks of a classic standard. A warm tenor sax solo (written solo provided) is featured after the first presentation of the song, with easy-going backgrounds adding subtle support. The brass mutes are removed momentarily as the chart progresses to a shout chorus that builds smoothly to its zenith, and then decisively leads to a coda that features effective linear writing between each section of the ensemble. Sure to be a favorite with the band and audience alike, add It’s Awf’ly Nice Just Walkin’ With You to your next concert or contest!
