Description:
This is a great transcription by Jon Harpin of a beautifully concieved Neal Hefti composition written as a ballad solo feature for Marshal Royal. If your band has an Alto player that you would like to showcase, this is the chart for you. The solo line is uncomplicated, the sax backings are rich and lush, and the brass lines in the middle 8 make for a brilliant dynamic contrast to the rest of the arrangement. There are no sax doubles.
