Beginning with an opening glissando and punch, this chart announces itself in style.
Muted trumpets take the melody and then hand it off to the saxes. A Harmon-muted trumpet solo leads to a trombone section soli which includes the bass player. An interlude sets up the piano solo, which is followed by a tenor sax solo.
A recap of the bridge and melody leads to a restatement of the intro before the ensemble builds to the final statement. The trumpet range is to written B-flat. A true tour de force that will showcase dynamics, style, technique, and musicianship!
