Here is a relatively easy arrangement from the 'Introducing the Duke Pearson Big Band' record from 1967. This was arranged as a tribute to Count Basie and features piano throughout. This also features solos for bass trombone and baritone saxophone. The recorded version features just piano but when the band performed live they used an augmented version of the chart that featured trombone and baritone solos. Part of Duke Pearson's piano solo (that we feel is integral) has been transcribed and is presented here as-played.
