This great chart is recorded (1999) on the Azica CD Swingin' the Blues. Holman grabs this simple Ellington tune and runs with it. The arrangement is yet another amazing example of Bill Holman's extraordinary arranging skills. There is solo space for tenor saxophone and, of course, trumpet. There is no real need for any extra high trumpet playing. The ensemble shout choruses alone are enough reason to put this chart in every jazz band library in the land. You will have a blast with this one. 5-4-4-4.

This was recorded on the Stan Kenton Orchestra CD Live at the Tropicana. This is a very hip version of the old jazz standard. It is set at a moderate swing tempo, and there is solo space for trumpet, trombone, tenor sax and an intro by bass alone. The solos have been transcribed and are included on the parts. An additional set of trumpet parts (along with the original versions) are provided to make this much more playable. It still swings like crazy. A refreshing, wonderful look at an oft-played tune. 5-5-5-3 (can be played with 8 brass).
