Description
Joey Calderazzo's iconic composition was written for Michael Brecker's band and released on the CD "Two Blocks From The Edge". Michael loved the way Joey's writing sounded straightforward but contained many subtle intricacies. This arrangement was written for Brecker's appearance with the California State University Hayward Jazz Ensemble in the late 90's. It features solos by Tenor Saxophone, Trumpet (4) and Soprano Sax (Opt. Alto solo). Near the end, the chart settles down and builds back up for a big finish..
