Check out this a clever Strayhorn tune infused with wit along with Les Hooper's superb arranging skills to create a tight-knit arrangement with a written 2nd trumpet solo. The lead trumpet part range is to written C above the staff and there is a wonderful ensemble section after the solo with just bass and hi-hat that is very hip.
