As recorded by
the Maynard Ferguson
Orchestra on New Sounds
of Maynard Ferguson, This
Willie Maiden arrangement
takes a great tune and
puts it in an up-tempo
swing setting. The chart
has a bop-like melody
performed as a duet by
the alto saxophone and
trumpet at the beginning,
and then moves into the
ensemble. There is a solo
for alto saxophone,
followed by a roaring
shout chorus. There is
some high trumpet work (a
la Maynard), with
optional lower notes
included. As always,
Willie gives us another
incredible arrangement
sure to be loved by all
audiences! 5-4-4-3.
