The Second Time Around
Much like the arrangements of Quincy Jones, Billy Byers provided the Basie band with some of their best music ever recorded. From Basie's album Frankly Speaking: Count Basie Plays the Hits of Frank Sinatra, Byers' arrangement of The Second Time Around is a slow swingin' masterpiece. This is a great dynamic chart that will stretch bands to play both very loud and very soft, and will certainly be a favorite of audiences. While much of this chart features the ensemble, there is improvised solo space for trumpet and a few written Basie-esque solos for piano. Every band should have this in their library!
