Steeped in the Count Basie style, Miles to Go starts with a trio (tenor sax, trumpet and trombone) introducing the melody over the rhythm section. With each successive phrase, sections are added until the whole band is in full swing. The solo section introduces a staple of blues playing and a technique heard in jam sessions everywhere - stop time, giving soloists a chance to create lots of excitement. The chart concludes with descending bell tones in the brass leading to a unison shout chorus. With its up-tempo feel and brash shouts from all instruments, Miles to Go is sure to be a crowd pleaser that is perfect to open or close any concert.

This is a great contest/concert selection for band's at this grade level. Once the notes get under the fingers it swings hard and shows off the whole band. The ranges and rhythms are very reasonable, but the excitement generated is off the charts! The intro is a piano vamp, followed by the saxes playing the melody in unison. The trumpets then join the altos, while the bones and tenors play some background punches. The bones and saxes trade off playing the bridge, and then full ensemble plays up to the open solo section. Following the solos, everything quiets way down and the gradual buildup to a real flag-waver of an ending begins.
