What's Your Hurry?

It's time to dial back the metronome a bit with this relaxed and slow swing ballad with a dreamy disposition. A la Neal Hefti, this brilliant chart is the perfect showcase for the entire ensemble, and includes a brief piano introduction, velvety bucket-muted brass, and a very pretty solo spot for lead alto saxophone. There's also optional space for more solos with written solos included. A gradual crescendo after the alto solo leads to a four-bar shout before returning to the volume and tone from the beginning. Colorful textures and voicings abound, and the optional flute part will add an extra glow of color, but the chart plays just as beautifully without it. A superb change-of-pace for concert, contest or festival! Highly recommended!
