(Level IV) The baritone sax gets the spotlight in this hauntingly melodic jazz ballad. Midway, the chart shifts into a medium-swing feel for the solo, climaxing with a ballad recap featuring a dash of lead trumpet. Sensitive orchestration and Strayhorn-inspired chord changes make this chart a fun challenge. Recorded on UNC's Alive XV. 7 Brass
