There are 4 bone parts included in the score--the 3d and 4th are positioned on the same line. The 4th bone part I don't think is written particularly low. The score is distributed through Kendor Music va. JD Pepper and their educational edition. I would not expect the bone part to be written specifically for a bass Tbn., and could be played just fine with a tenor and 1st trigger. I attended many of Sammy's workshops many years ago (1970's), and he was an exceptional writer who was also a very caring and good humored man. He was always an exceptional pleasure to work with. Humanity misses him greatly.
seems the bass trombone player was forgotten, I played this song in high school and there was a bass trombone part scored for it, sadly I always looked for one and I'm not seeing one here, but the band still sounds fantastic! Thank you so very much for bringing these memories back 👍😉
Interesting setup. Most American big bands put the bari sax to the far right of the sax section and here she is to the far left. I played this song often with an Air Force Jazz Band in the 70's. We got to work once with Sammy Nestico. His big band charts swing as hard as anyone's!
Whoa, those eighth notes are almost straight in places. That's so hip. Probably shouldn't have panned the guitar so hard to the left though, it's a bit grating.
