A very lyrical jazz ballad featuring tenor. A bit of Kentonish flavor. Trumpet section needs some power.

Dirtiest, ugliest, greasiest 12/8 blues. Should make you think of K.C. in the '30's. Features trombone soloist and an alto solo. Shout chorus should wipe out back wall in your rehearsal room. Trumpet...
