John Berry has done a nice job of adapting this famous standard for younger groups, using a slow swing style and creative harmonic twists. This is also an excellent showcase for your Alto Sax soloist.

One of the most soulful ballads ever written, this standard has been recorded by artists ranging from Billie Holiday to Blood, Sweat & Tears. Rick's easy arrangement features rich harmonies with full ensemble writing. A short written solo is included for any sax, but no improvised solos are required.
