Introduce your young musicians to big band swing with this clever new original by Howard Rowe. Solid orchestration ensures that it comes together quickly and sounds big and bold. Written solo or soli sections are comfortably within the range and abilities of young players and will get them swingin' like pros. If rehearsal time is tight, this is an excellent choice by a writer-teacher who has been there! Everyone will agree; your band is a winner!

Recorded by the Toshiko Akiyoshi-Lew Tabackin Big Band on the album March Of The Tadpoles, the score notes for this beautiful work explain two major performance options. First, the introduction may be replaced by a freely-improvised piano solo (as originally recorded on the album); this makes all sax doubles unnecessary. Second, the main solo feature for tenor sax may also be played by alto; extra substitute parts are provided. Duration 5:20.
