This is a beautiful melody and arrangement by Mike Smukal. It begins with a four-bar chorale intro, then moves into an easy bossa-feel, with the melody played by 1st alto sax and 2nd trumpet and a written-out solo later on for the alto. A shimmering ensemble section, lush harmonies and lead trumpet range to written G on top of the staff are but a few highlights of this fine chart. Gorgeous writing.

Composed by Thad Jones. Kendor Archive Editions. Kendor Music Inc #52527S. Published by Kendor Music Inc (KN.52527S).

As performed by the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra at the Village Vanguard, solo opportunities are given to trumpet and piano, but the solo chorus can be opened up for additional players as desired. Other highlights include a challenging sax soli, high brass punches, and a big shout that takes it all out in fine style. Duration 4:15.
