Thad Jones, a wonderful writer, left us this beautiful, sensitive piece. With all due respect to the music, the arrangement is simple, sparse and, of course, a cappella. Vocalists must work wholeheartedly with breathing, phrasing, matching of vowel shapes, cutoffs and impeccable dynamics.
Arranger: Sharon Broadley Performed By: The Ritz
