When you're lucky enough to find the perfect ballad to feature your star trombonist, it's often the highlight of your concert. Los Angeles film orchestrator Bill Liston has penned the ideal vehicle to spotlight your soloist with this straight eighth note ballad. The compelling melody of this funky ballad offers sufficient space for improvisation and will be a nice departure from the swing ballads normally written for trombone. A guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson is included, and rhythm section parts are notated. Duration 4:00.
