Played this in the early 80s with a really good HS all-star band in Central Ohio which was probably about as good as a GOOD college big band. After studying orchestral music the past 35+ years and coming back to this...Oh my! That repeated middle section, going to the double dotted rhythms in the 4th repeat....absolute, shrieking genius! It's like a RUSH tune for big band!

Dude I am 100% sure that we played the same key and the only different arrangement was what instruments we had solo - this was an all county band, so they accepted about 15 out of 300 that tried out Brian Gonzalez
