There are 4 bone parts included in the score--the 3d and 4th are positioned on the same line. The 4th bone part I don't think is written particularly low. The score is distributed through Kendor Music va. JD Pepper and their educational edition. I would not expect the bone part to be written specifically for a bass Tbn., and could be played just fine with a tenor and 1st trigger. I attended many of Sammy's workshops many years ago (1970's), and he was an exceptional writer who was also a very caring and good humored man. He was always an exceptional pleasure to work with. Humanity misses him greatly.
Interesting setup. Most American big bands put the bari sax to the far right of the sax section and here she is to the far left. I played this song often with an Air Force Jazz Band in the 70's. We got to work once with Sammy Nestico. His big band charts swing as hard as anyone's!
I didn't think anyone could swing as hard as Neal Hefti... then I discovered Sammy Nestico. A whole new level of musical genius. And to get to work with the man himself? That's one to tell the grandkids, for sure. As musical high points go, I'm guessing that was up at the top?
seems the bass trombone player was forgotten, I played this song in high school and there was a bass trombone part scored for it, sadly I always looked for one and I'm not seeing one here, but the band still sounds fantastic! Thank you so very much for bringing these memories back 👍😉
Whoa, those eighth notes are almost straight in places. That's so hip. Probably shouldn't have panned the guitar so hard to the left though, it's a bit grating.

RIP Mr. Nestico, you will be missed and your arrangements will live on in every high school and middle school jazz band

Fantastic. Awesome arrangement, but it takes a great band to make it happen. Thank you very much. Nicely recorded/mixed too. Geoff in France.

Compliment!! Very well played...
This big band sound takes me back to the late 1920's to the early 1950's! Brilliant music! Well done!
Great to hear this band.
Sammy Nestico arrangements! This really brings back memories for me. Easy to play, and all ways sound great! Thank you for the post.

We used this tune as our theme song in Florida for the Melbourne Big Band when I conducted it. John M. Hill, Canadian.
