So Long...

Film noir atmosphere sets the scene for this easy jazz ballad, written to feature a bari sax soloist. Harmon mutes for the trumpets and cup mute for the trombones add authentic color, and a brief double‑time swing section in the middle provides contrast before returning to the moody ballad feel. The clear form and supportive scoring make it an engaging concert selection great for introducing your early players to performing with a featured soloist.
