It Is What It Is is a tasty medium-tempo swing chart in a "neo-Basie" style. It's based on a 12-bar blues form in C concert and can get your band in the groove real quick! The solos are for piano and tenor sax, and there's a very hot two-and-a-half chorus sax soli. Andy Farber can really write and this chart is so much fun to play and hear! Very highly recommended!
