(Level 4) Vocals glide over usual changes, pedal bass and a time signature of 7/8 in Latin feel to open this arrangement. Bridge shifts to common time, back to "7," then Latin 4/4 feel. Big band licks take over middle swing section. Solo female vocalese floats over the form's changes and then makes a transition into descending vocal soli voiced in fourths to trade with the rhythm section. Exciting ending. SATB with rhythm section.
