This tune has a comfortable tempo, easy ranges, well-balanced ensemble chorus and a very handsome harmonic structure. All parts are interesting and contribute to the whole picture. Trumpet, alto sax and piano have written solos, and the bass part is completely written out. In maintaining a jazz feel, eighth notes should not be played strictly, but must have a lazy feel (when playing two in succession, the second one is delayed). Although dynamics, tempo and sound are important, the feel of the jazz idiom is the top priority. Much care has been taken in the construction of this arrangement to meet this goal.
