This arrangement by Gil Fuller was first recorded by the Dizzy Gillespie big band in 1946. In 1949 J.J. Robbins & Sons published a stock arrangement of thistune that was nearly identical to the arrangement from Dizzy's book. Theonly major difference was that the published version was for 3 trumpets instead of 4. We have recreated the 4th trumpet part. Featured are solos for trumpet, tenor saxophone, and trombone. An optional open solo section has been included.
