Arranged by Carubia. Jazz Ensemble. Extra full score. Composed 2011. Duration 2 minutes, 47 seconds. C.L. Barnhouse #SCM-1071-01. Published by C.L. Barnhouse (CL.SCM-1071-01).
This classic Clarence Williams composition was written at the very beginning of the Jazz Age and speaks in the Count Basie language. An 8 measure written piano solo feeds into a quiet full ensemble melody with brass in bucket mutes. (Open in stand will do) Well placed unisons and ensemble writing leads to a 16 bar tenor sax solo (suggested written solo is provided) then builds to a final full ensemble shout chorus a minor third higher. Includes an optional flute part. The unique surprise ending will treat the audience and band to a few happy moments. Hint: (Opt. one bar vocal ending).
