FULL SCORE
An infectious groove and catchy melody characterize this very playable composition. The changes require some skillful comping, but the quarter notes figures in the melody are great for teaching mature phrasing and allowing the players to really focus on swing, which is the principal element in this chart.
SOLOS: The changes move quickly in places, but they avoid the less common key areas and should be playable by any serious jazz student with a little practice.
