In addition, a wealth of ensemble work is included, making it perfect for concert or festival. Duration 3:52.

Recorded by the University of North Texas One O'Clock Lab Band on their Lab 2002 CD, much of the texture in this medium up-swing tune is dedicated to unison contrapuntal areas requiring a fluid, horizontal style. Tenor and trumpet carry the primary solos, and all trumpets double on the flugelhorn. The difficulty rating is medium advanced, and brass ranges are conservative (D6 trumpet, A4 trombone).

A convincing minor blues featuring solid swing figures and a medium tempo. The difficulty rating is easy and a separate sheet with written solos in all transpositions is included with each set to give directors the freedom to customize the open solo section as they wish. And as is true of all other charts in The First Edition Series, this release is playable by groups ranging in size from 12 to 17 players.
