This fast swing advanced
level chart was among the
first charts Thad Jones
wrote for the new band in
1966, as a more modern
contrast to the
Basie-oriented
arrangements that were in
the band's early
repertoire. Early 1960's
forays into more open,
modal jazz forms by Miles
Davis and John Coltrane
had turned the jazz world
upside down in just a few
years, prompting many
artists to expand from
bebop-oriented ii-V-I
chord structures. This
arrangement was one of
Thad Jones' responses to
that trend. This piece is
a wide-open vehicle for
improvisation. There are
multiple open solo
sections, each with
extended improvisation
opportunities. Duration
3:00.
