Composed by Jr. Vuono. Jazz Ensemble. Extra full score. Composed 2018. Duration 3 minutes, 51 seconds. C.L. Barnhouse #032-4657-01. Published by C.L. Barnhouse (CL.032-4657-01).

Time to dial back the metronome a bit with this relaxed slow swing with a dreamy disposition. This brilliant chart is the perfect showcase for the entire ensemble, and includes a brief piano introduction, velvety bucket‐muted brass, and a very pretty solo spot for your lead alto saxophone. A gradual crescendo after the alto solo leads to a four bar shout before returning to the volume and tone set at the beginning. Colorful textures and voicings abound, and the optional flute part will add an extra glow of color, but the chart plays just a beautifully without. A superb change of pace for concert or contest!

The original Yankee Doodle Dandy, George M. Cohan, was a major figure in the development of Broadway, but his classic tune never sounded so good! Master arranger Carl Strommen uses his creative harmonic language and perfect sense of jazz style to turn this Broadway march into a medium slow swing chart that uses the elements of the modern jazz ensemble to the fullest. The arrangement leads off with the band playing the first chorus in the mezzo piano range which is one of the reasons that this is a terrific selection to follow a loud burner. The saxophones get a good workout in their soli, and there is solo space for tenor saxophone and trumpet. (Written solos are included.).
