(Level IV) Commissioned originally by the U.S. Air Force Reserve Jazz Ensemble and recorded by the Jazz Surge on their CD, Madcap, Owen has given this lovely standard an evocatively sensual portrayal. After allowing woodwinds and muted brass to establish the ECMish groove, Alto Sax and Trombone lazily unveil the head and are later featured in extended solos (Bass also has a solo). The piece settles into a groove that is probably best described as a slow rhumba and climaxes with a stirring, brassy statement of the melody. Woodwind doubles including an Alto Flute (gasp!) part. 5,4,4, PBGD, opt. Perc, Opt. Solo Alto. 8 Brass.
