Swing. Composed by Bob Hilliard, Count Basie, and David Mann. Arranged by Billy Byers. Sheet music. Score and parts. Handelsware #SMP 1183. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-1183).

As recorded by the Count Basie Orchestra on the album "Frankly Basie; Count Basie Plays the Hits of Frank Sinatra," this arrangement by Billy Byers is a fantastic medium-slow swing tune. It is classic Basie, with a soft, swinging melody, room for solos, and an "in-your-face" shout section which then returns to the quiet melody with a gentle ending. Big band music doesn't get any better than this! In this edited version, solos are written out (tenor saxophone, trumpet and piano), high brass parts have been adjusted and rhythm parts are written out. 5-4-4-4.
