Straight-ahead rhythmic figures, a strong melody, and a solid swing feel are the hallmarks of this easy release for young jazz bands. As a training piece for teaching the basic concepts of big band swing, it just doesn't get any better than this. Written lines for the open solo section are provided for all instruments on a supplemental solo sheet, and Doug's expert scoring renders the chart playable by 12-17 pieces.
