This easy swing ballad pays homage to the great Neal Hefti and his classic Li’l Darlin’ which was written for the Count Basie orchestra and is now standard repertoire in the big band genre. There is plenty of ensemble work along with a great written tenor sax solo (also with chord symbols). For greater performance flexibility an optional solo sheet is included for other instruments as well. A great vehicle for teaching the most basic elements of jazz in a musical setting! (3:00)
