This is an original "happy feeling" swing tune. The first chorus is, for the most part, written in ensemble style, while the second chorus is more contrapuntally written. Duets between the higher two saxes and the lower two saxes are utilized, and after developmental material is heard, there is a reprise of the first bridge and a short coda.
