Can you imagine a chart which is this easy to play being played and recorded by Maynard Ferguson? Well, that just demonstrates how catchy and wonderful this chart is. It doesn't need higher-louder-faster to be a wonderfully effective chart. This is set in a medium slow tempo and has solo space for alto saxophone, 2 trumpets and baritone saxophone. This one will become a staple in jazz libraries throughout the world. If you're looking for a comparison, this chart might remind you of Ernie Wilkin's arrangement of Moten Swing, except it is even easier to play. Printed as originally scored (4-4-2-3), but includes extra parts for a 5-4-4-3 instrumentation.
