Hey, Jealous Lover

Many have tried, but few have been able to match the incredible swing that happens when you combine Billy Byers' arranging with the Count Basie Orchestra. Originally recorded on the Basie album Frankly Basie: Count Basie Plays the Hits of Frank Sinatra, Hey, Jealous Lover is a medium swing chart that will excite bands and audiences alike! Filled with typical written Basie-esque piano solo fills, there is also room for trumpet and tenor saxophone improvisation. The ensemble writing is powerful and swinging, with nothing complex or rhythmically awkward, just a great melody with hard swingin' horn lines and tasty solo spots!
