A classic jazz standard composed by the great Cole Porter, this chart bounces between samba and swing grooves. A well-crafted chart with lead trumpet range to written B-flat above the staff and suggested solos for alto1, tenor1, trumpet 2, trombone 1, and drums. The soli sections and a hot shout chorus make this a fine choice for any concert or festival. (5:10).

A medium-swing modal original by Gordon Goodwin. The tempo is around 140 BPM, the flexible solo section has written solos provided for (opt) flute, alto 1, tenor 1, bari, trumpet 3 and trombone 1. The lead trumpet range is to written B above the staff. It's relaxed and kinda laid-back but still has the Goodwin intensity. A fun to play Goodwin chart. This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

This new advanced level edition is taken directly from the original ink parts that were on the stands at the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra (now the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra) debut performance in February 1966 and continues to be played by the group Monday nights at the Village Vanguard in New York City. Originally commissioned by Count Basie for an entire album of Thad Jones' music, however Basie never made the record, instead suggesting that Thad start his own band. Low Down still maintains that swinging Basie mindset and is a 32- measure AABA form. Its basic foundations are a relaxed but powerful rhythm section with a driving ride cymbal beat and crisp hi-hat, underpinning saxes and brass that are tight, and always on the back of the beat. Duration 3:40.
