What Now?

Mike Sailors delivers with this beautiful ballad in the Basie/Nestico tradition. Full of wonderful full ensemble work, sax section solis, and intelligent phrasing, it simply exudes sophistication, style and elegance. The bridge is filled by a piano solo before the brass returns to finish out the melody. An extended trumpet solo soon follows, supported by the saxes, before the full band comes to life in a slow shout section which returns to the melody and close. A substantial ballad in true jazz style!
