Charlie is some of

writing. Full of up-tempo
energy, Oliver
masterfully intertwines
the melody in the

counter-lines from the
brass to create an
incredible tapestry of
sound. There is plenty of
solo space for trombone
to stretch out, giving a
great contrast from the
full ensemble sections to
the lone soloist with
rhythm section. This
edited version maintains
the integrity of Oliver's

simplifying some of the
