This is one
very cool and tasty
ballad. After a short 4
bar piano intro, the
melody is played by a
quartet made up of your
strongest players -
trumpet, alto, tenor and
trombone. The whole Band
joins in for some great
ensemble work (trumpets
never leave the staff)
which leads into an easy
but very hip piano solo.
Then more great ensemble,
and finally the piano is
again featured at the
end. The piano part is
completely written out,
and the right hand has a
single note line
throughout. There's
nothing high, loud or
fast here - but what a
great way to impress and
audience by showcasing
your band's ability to
play with A Gentle
Touch.
