How Sweet It Is

A medium groove swing tune that fits like an old shoe—so comfortable and everything works just right. Composed and arranged by the legendary Sammy Nestico for the late Harry “Sweets” Edison, this chart screams Count Basie. And speaking of swinging, there is a glorious ensemble section that brings it all together so sweetly! Sammy includes solo space for trumpet, piano, second alto sax, tenor sax, and trombone. This chart is not technically difficult, but dynamics and cohesive ensemble playing are a must. A wonderful chart that belongs in every jazz library!
