Thank you soooooooooo much johnnystaccata for uploading this and other tracks of the album! This is my fav of their albums but i only have it in on LP. and I threw my turntable away.

I have a CD copy, that makes it a lot easier to rip than vinyl.

Ugh, I vividly remember playing a poorly prepped gig where the whole band was sight-reading this chart. We in the trombone section made a hash of that opening statement the first time through, particularly bars 9 and 10….the completely exposed part. We redeemed ourselves on the DS but the damage had been done. I listen to the song now with mixed emotions.

I noticed that John Mosca is playing a Conn 88h trombone. I've never seen anyone else using an 88h as a jazz horn but obviously it worked for him.
