Young Jazz Ensemble
Grade: 2.5
A medium-up swing played around 140 BPM, the melody is initially stated by saxes with a stop-time feel, building into optional suggested solos for trumpet 2, alto 1, tenor 1, and trombone 1 followed by a great shout chorus. Lead trumpet range to written G on top of the staff and the usual optional parts are included plus vibes. Superb chart!

Great arrangement. I like the piano thing that starts at 3:03 and it actually reminds me a little of the harmony in Move For Me by Kaskade.
