Originally recorded as a soprano sax solo feature on the Sammy Sammy Nestico CD A Portrait Of Sammy, this arrangement allows two soloing options: playing it as a (1) soprano feature played by the 2nd Alto player, or as a (2) tenor feature played by the 1st Tenor player. Either way, the haunting solo leaves plenty of room for individual interpretation.

This happy, joyous medium-tempo gospel swing with a truly sunny disposition takes the listener in immediately and just does not let go! An animated full-ensemble introduction leads the way to the sun-beamy, chirrupy melody, at first presented by trumpet and alto over a stop-time rhythm section. The entire sax section takes the melody next, while the brass offer uplifting commentary by way of stop-time chords. Plunger-muted trumpet is featured at the solo section, with inspiring backgrounds from the ensemble; this section may be repeated as desired to feature additional solos. Some deft linear writing follows the solo section, providing exciting dialog throughout the ensemble before leading up to an intriguing and effective pyramid that leaps forward into the stirring shout chorus. A clever tag alights on the ending plagal cadence, offering a place for the plunger-muted Trumpet to shine above the final chord. Gather ‘Round is sure to bring a smile, and destined to be a mainstay!

Opening with a light waltz in the style intended by Borodin, the music gives way to a medium swing style featuring bucket-muted brass and sax section solis. For best results, good breath support and sensitivity to dynamic changes are recommended.

According to the score notes for this pensive adaptation, the key to a warm and colorful rendition lies chiefly in an exceptional emphasis on dynamics. Playing in a smooth legato style and with vibrato at the climactic moments is highly recommended. A brief cameo for lead trumpet midway through is the only solo.
