This is a quintessential original chart for the Count Basie Orchestra. Originally recorded on Basie Land, the easy swing feel and tempo make this piece very accessible to most bands. There is a bit of flute in two saxophone parts. There are solos for tenor, trumpet, and piano. Of course there is the required masterful shout chorus that leads to a quiet, cool ending. The ranges make this a very accessible chart for developed bands.
