Count Basie recorded this chart in 1959 featuring Frank Wess on flute. The song itself formed the basis of Hefti's Flight Of The Foo Birds, though the changes are not identical. On the original Basie version alto 1 doubles flute, with all other saxes doubling clarinet. As not all bands have this doubling capability, the publisher has scored the reverse of the reed parts as a regular AATTB sax section. The only double then required is a short 4-measure passage for alto 1 on clarinet in the introduction. This chart is a great swinger, and the brass ranges are quite moderate. The flute (alto sax) solo is improvised from the chords provided.
