More about this title

About the Composer: Duke Pearson

Duke Pearson (1926-1980) was a trumpeter, composer, and bandleader who bridged hard bop and soul jazz with accessible, swinging arrangements. His work as a leader and collaborator on Blue Note Records established him as a distinctive voice in 1960s jazz, and his compositions have remained standards in both professional and educational ensembles.

Why we love this

Mike Dana's arrangement captures the essence of Pearson's swinging idiom while giving your ensemble a rewarding balance of section work and solo space. The alto sax feature and drum solo structure keep energy high without overshadowing the band's rhythmic precision, and the lead trumpet voicing demands real chops from your section.

What to expect

A buoyant, propulsive swing that leans into the best of 1960s hard bop energy. The piece moves with infectious momentum and swaggering confidence, punctuated by moments where the full band locks into tight section writing before opening up again for the featured soloists.

Who it's for

Jazz ensembles at the advanced high school or college level who are ready to tackle a standard-based swing chart with genuine solo voices. Your ensemble should have a capable lead trumpet player and a soloist comfortable navigating changes at 178 BPM.

How to get the most out of it

Establish the groove early in sectional rehearsals by locking the rhythm section on the swing feel; the ride cymbal and walking bass need to lock before you layer in the horn lines.
Shape the alto sax solo space carefully with your soloist and rhythm section through multiple run-throughs; encourage the player to navigate the changes with confidence while the drums and bass respond dynamically underneath.
Require your lead trumpet player to mark breath points before the first full ensemble read; the high C passages demand stamina and strategic phrasing.

How to use it

Program this alongside other Duke Pearson standards or swing-based repertoire for a cohesive set that demonstrates your ensemble's command of authentic jazz language. The recorded accompaniment and contest/festival designation make it ideal for spring jazz festival programming or a focused jazz concert.
