It’s Awf’ly Nice Just Walkin’ With You is a beautiful ballad from the trusted pen of Rob Vuono, Jr., showcasing your lead tenor as well as the entire band. A wistful melody strolls across a lovely chord progression at a leisurely pace, as varied tone colors of velvety bucket-muted brass and lushly harmonized sax solis brilliantly combine to give this chart all of the hallmarks of a classic standard. A warm tenor sax solo (written solo provided) is featured after the first presentation of the song, with easy-going backgrounds adding subtle support. The brass mutes are removed momentarily as the chart progresses to a shout chorus that builds smoothly to its zenith, and then decisively leads to a coda that features effective linear writing between each section of the ensemble. Sure to be a favorite with the band and audience alike, add It’s Awf’ly Nice Just Walkin’ With You to your next concert or contest!

Feature your drummer with this powerful Jim Swearingen original that really rocks. Great ensemble licks and plenty of spots for the drummer to show his(or her) stuff. The band parts are solid all the way and your audiences will love this dynamic tune. EXCELLENT DRUM FEATURE!
