UNC Jazz Press

(8 Brass) This is a new arrangement borrowing from the standard My Funny Valentine. The piece uses the entire ensemble to paint unique colors against a fast swing. Changes are written for Trumpet and Tenor Saxophone, with solo opportunities for drum set. This is a wonderful take on the original which works as a fast swing as well as a ballad.
