As recorded by the Thad Jones Big Band in 1980 on the Eclipse album, this lyrical, even-8ths ballad casts trombone with plunger in the solo role; though written lines are provided, improvisation is encouraged. Piano enhances the gentle mood with tasteful solo fills throughout, and a worthy performance of this chart depends upon the band's ability to play with great expression and blend. Rhythm section parts are partially notated with chords cued. Duration 4:05.
