This beautiful arrangement of Charles Mingus' signature ballad features altos and trumpets playing the melody off the top, then later adds the entire ensemble.  Sample written solos are provided for the short solo or soli spots for trumpet and trombone and there are also notated piano voicings and bass lines.  Here is a more accessible version of this lovely tune that will be a great introduction to the music of Mingus for developing players.  Optional parts are also included for flute, clarinet and F horn.  A jazz classic that is highly recommended!
