A good solid funk beat lays down a bed for some good riffs in this creative chart by a gifted writer. Although not in the ``easy’’ category it can be played by most high school groups. Soloists can be chosen by the director. Once it cranks up..it plays by itself.

This tasteful solo ballad is a beautiful way to feature Alto Sax or Trumpet. There are no range or rhythm problems for either band or soloist; just a pretty melody over lush chords and counter-lines, with lots of dynamic contrasts. A lovely piece playable with limited instrumentation. Simple can be a good thing, and this ballad is simply great!

This simplified version of the classic swinger recorded by the Count Basie Orchestra opens with a 12-bar piano solo backed by guitar, bass and drums before entrances by saxes, then brass, lead to a full-band statement of the theme. Short solo fills throughout and the signature Basie-style ending will give your pianist ample air time while the band negotiates solid swing figures with good balance, phrasing and blend. The improvised solo chorus is assigned to 1st Tenor. Duration 2:45.
