Description

This slow, relaxed swing piece recalls aspects of blues and film noir. It isn’t a technically challenging piece, but it must remain extremely laid back throughout. Tenor 1 and flugelhorn parts get a bit high in spots such that they should sound tense. The performers should lean into that sensation rather than try to cover it up. Main solos are for tenor 1 and trumpet 2, but there are short solo sections for any players in the band or group improvisation.
