One for the Maestro is a relaxed swinger in the style of the great Count Basie/Sammy Nestico charts. In addition to the great McGuinness ensemble writing, written or improvised solo space is included for alto sax 1 and trombone 1 with a bass and drums feature between the solos. After the solo section, there's a highly effective full band section that begins quietly and builds to a tasteful rubato ending. A great chart for concert or festival programs!
