Description A pleasant and relatively bebop piece, written in leadsheet form & can be performed by pretty much any type of jazz band.

The tune is easier than it looks as it runs off the fingers quite nicely (for trumpet and sax, at least). The chords are pretty simple to solo over, but watch out for those flat 9 and diminished chords!

I've included a chord guide and example walk for more inexperienced jazz pianists/bass players.

The piece also words nicely with a laid-back Latin feel.

If you play this with your jazz band I'd really love to hear what you do with it. Please get in touch at michael.roberts@ucl.ac.uk
