FULL SCORE
One of Bobby's favorite titles (he's recorded it on 2 separate occasions), this enjoyable arrangement focuses on a diatonic melody over chord changes that alternate between two closely related keys during the A section and some more distant changes during the bridge.
SOLOS: These changes are easy enough for most players to handle without a problem. The A section allows a player to focus on working within a diatonic framework and manipulating the subtle harmonic shadings between closely related key centers. The bridge goes a little further away from the key centers of the A section, but it's still very playable.
