I really liked this!

Fantastic! Only decent sax solo I've heard on this song...

@baritonesax94 Thank you! The soloist, Todd Herbert, is now playing in the New York area, in the finest bands.

Thanks for your comments! The Contemporary Concepts album is my Kenton Favorite. Mulligan wrote one chart, and Holman did all the others.

This is a very good band! The original recording had Mel Lewis on drums and included arranging by Gerry Mulligan. The Kenton band was a swingin band in those years from 1950 to 1960

[lenking1234]

Yes, this is one of the all-time greatest charts!!

Awesome arrangement, playing this in my high school big band this year.

[lenking1234]

Thanks for your note! This is my favorite Bill Holman chart.

@lenking1234 Loved it from the moment I first heard it; still love it today.
