By Rob Mcconnell and The Boss Brass. Edited by Rob Duboff and Jeffrey Sultanof. Arranged by Rob McConnell. Ballad/Swing. Published by Jazz Lines Publications (JL.JLP-7035).

This is quite possibly the best arrangement of this standard ever conceived. Written in 1976 and featured on the Boss Brass album The Jazz Album, this chart is an all-out flugelhorn feature (composed to showcase Guido Basso). Reeds double on 3 flutes, clarinet, and bass clarinet (see below). The arrangement begins as a ballad and halfway through moves to a swing feel and then to a double time swing tempo. Typical of McConnell's writing, this arrangement features gorgeous harmonies, interesting counterpoint, and great rhythmic figures. This is a perfect show-stopper for your flugelhorn player! Ranges: Trumpet 1: to E6; Trombone 1: Bb4.
