Piano, guitar/vibes and bass establish the overall mood of this cool and icy swing number with bell-like effects in the intro before trombones enter with the first melodic statement. Scoring is for full bands, the harmonic scheme is modal, and the open solo section features just one chord (C7SUS). Strong ensemble shouts, dramatic drum fills and recaps of the opening material bring this winner to a convincing close.
