Up swing, what could be better. The horns jumping in and out of unison take the lead as the rhythm section makes room.
The bridge is reminiscent of a big band kicking along as the piano solos. Horns play the melody again leading up to the
sax solo break. A
short drum solo leading up to the horns and guitar playing the melody tutti. The rhythm section
joins in leading up to the bridge. Out of the bridge into the "shout chorus." The band kicks, the key changes and then
the band kicks some more until the end.

A pretty melody that is played individually by each of the horns and the guitar before the tune ends.
As the melody stays the same, the groove underneath changes. Starting with the trombone playing over a mellow Bossa beat.
The horns play give and go with the melody leading up to the bridge. The alto sax takes the lead on the bridge.
The guitar plays the melody in the background as the piano ad-libs. It gets funky as the sax starts soloing. The next
section features the trumpet with harmon playing the rubato melody with the guitar. Once again, it gets funky under the soprano sax solo.
Before the band revs up for the ending.
