Here's a great, moderately-fast-swing chart for advancing groups featuring the II-V progression that's common in many popular standards. The angular melody featuring wide skips and scale-like intervals is first played by unison saxophones. Also included is a sax soli, lots of captivating ensemble passages, and a solo chorus that can be expanded at the director's discretion. As with all of Lennie's big band charts, the melodies are memorable and the orchestration is rock solid. Solo sheets for all winds and a guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson are included. Duration 5:05.

A bright jazz samba featuring soli passages to show off all sections of the band. Interesting counter-melodies, solos for trumpet & piano, an extensive ensemble soli-section without rhythm section and a terrific shout chorus make this an awesome all- out festival chart. Very Highly Recommended.
