FULL SCORE
This bebop classic features a rhythm changes A section and a bridge made up of chromatic II-Vs. Simply mastering the melody will greatly augment one's bebop vocabulary, and the tricky 3/4 intro and coda will keep everybody on their toes.
SOLOS: Depending on the tempo, a reasonably experienced soloist should be able to navigate these straightforward bebop changes. As in many famous bebop tunes, there are lots of obscure II-Vs in the bridge that are great for becoming more familiar with some less common keys.

SONNY STITT (1924-1982) Originally a disciple of Charlie Parker on alto, Sonny Stitt developed a compelling sound of his own when he switched to tenor. He was in Billy Eckstine's big band at the time when it also included Fats Navarro, Dexter Gordon, Gene Ammons and Art Blakey. He later played in Dizzy Gillespie's big band and sextet. He is particularly well-known for the tenor battles he had on many sessions he co-led with Gene Ammons. Stitt continued to tour and record as a leader until his death.
