Original medium-swing jazz quartet tune in Bb major at 168 BPM: tenor sax, piano comping with rootless voicings, walking upright bass, and ride cymbal with hi-hat on 2 and 4. Form: 4-bar ii-V intro, a 16-bar head (A A'), a 16-bar written tenor solo, a 16-bar piano solo, the head out, and a Bb6 ending. Changes: Bbmaj7 | Gm7 C7 | Cm7 F7 | Bbmaj7 G7 | Cm7 | F7 | Dm7 G7 | Cm7 F7, and the second A moves to Bb7 | Ebmaj7 | Ab7. Swung eighths, bebop-style chromatic approach notes, and a dynamic arc that peaks in the sax solo. No borrowed melodies.
