I heard the Mel Lewis Orchestra play this in June of 1985 at The Blue Note in New York. Great tune.

Thanks!!

[@birks-ew3rp]

can anyone confirm who the alto solo is?

[@MaxIsBackInTown]

I feel very confident in saying the alto player is dick oatts.

[@birks-ew3rp]

Daniel Richardson oh dick oatts is most definitely lead, what puzzles me is that at moments the tone of the solo sounds like ted nash and the ideas sound more like oatts

Who wrote the chart for this?Brookmeyer?
