Arranged for Eddie Henderson with the Northern Illinois University Jazz Ensemble directed by Ron Carter. Inspired by Eddie's recording on his album "So What." Tight brass harmonies, with echos of Bill Holman's thematic linear countermelodies. Trumpet feature, but work great with any additional soloist. Great chart to use in the middle of a set.
