Time to dial back the metronome a bit with this relaxed slow swing with a dreamy disposition. This brilliant chart is the perfect showcase for the entire ensemble, and includes a brief piano introduction, velvety bucket-muted brass, and a very pretty solo spot for your lead alto saxophone. A gradual crescendo after the alto solo leads to a four bar "shout" before returning to the volume and tone set at the beginning. Colorful textures and voicings abound, and the optional flute part will add an extra glow of color, but the chart plays just a beautifully without. A superb change of pace for concert or contest!
