FULL SCORE
The solo flugelhorn and flute [played by the first sax part (alto or tenor)] carries most of the statement of the head, occasionally trading with the solo tenor sax. The flute part goes up to a high Gb and the solo tenor sax part to a high G. There is an occasional meter change from 4/4 to 3/8 and some superficially complex rhythms. Fortunately, the suggested tempo of a quarter note = ca. 54 allows less experienced players a comfortable environment in which to master the rhythmic aspects. Both the tenor sax and the flute part are readily mastered with some practice. The piece is characterized by a light rock/Latin feel and is sure to go over well with any audience. The one improvised solo, which features colorful but very playable and idiomatic changes, is for the tenor sax. The slow-moving chord progression will be no problem for any soloist who's used to playing over changes. Originally written for the Woody Herman Orchestra.
