A down tempo piece from the King of Swing, Count Basie.
"A Hefti Dose of Basie," as performed by Patrick William's big band on his brilliant CD Home Suite Home---this chart is a marvel of taste and restraint. The tempo is slow at around 74 BPM. This outstanding ballad has a trumpet 2 solo with chord changes. Brass range is not an issue, the challenge is the slow tempo. Soon to be a classic chart in everyone's library.
