David Baker's music is wonderful to play because of its originality and sense of adventure. This lovely latin piece begins quietly with piano, then brass, and leads into a warm, lush saxophone soli. The brass quietly lead into a piano solo, alto sax solo and then a baritone sax solo. The ending is quiet, soulful and beautiful. Brass ranges are quite modest and the tempo is easy to play for most bands. 5-5-5-3.
