Arranged by Holman for Carl Fontana with the Stan Kenton Orchestra in the mid 50's. This chart is wonderful in its simplicity and melodic content. A striking melody and an exquisite arrangement. Solo for trombone throughout. Very reasonable brass ranges and overall rhythmic content. If you've got a good trombonist looking for a feature ballad, this is it! And the band parts are not very demanding.
