FULL SCORE
The first part (trumpet on the recording) is featured prominently in the statement of the melody, with the second part (alto on the recording) taking over briefly for the first half of the bridge. When contrasted against the Latin feel of the A and C sections, the B section's swing is particularly effective. Porcelli capitalizes on this by drawing on his vast knowledge of both jazz and Latin music to find just the right lines for each instrument to highlight these stylistic differences. There's no better arrangement to firmly establish in a young player's mind the different characteristics of straight ahead and Latin jazz.
SOLOS: The solo changes, which are loosely based on the changes to Alone Together, are rewarding to play and generate some additional interest with their irregular phrase lengths.
