Ronell, Ann: Willow Weep For Me

One of the all time great standards. After a solo piano introduction the lyrical melody played by the 1st tenor sax is combined with an underlying 6/4 jazz swing backing from the rhythm section, with the full band joining on the second chorus. Open 12-bar sequence has written solos for flute and trombone before the brass and saxes return, building to a driving ff ending. Top note high C for lead trumpet. Key B flat. Optional Flute.
