It’s Awf’ly Nice Just Walkin’ With You is a beautiful ballad from the trusted pen of Rob Vuono, Jr., showcasing your lead tenor as well as the entire band. A wistful melody strolls across a lovely chord progression at a leisurely pace, as varied tone colors of velvety bucket-muted brass and lushly harmonized sax solis brilliantly combine to give this chart all of the hallmarks of a classic standard. A warm tenor sax solo (written solo provided) is featured after the first presentation of the song, with easy-going backgrounds adding subtle support. The brass mutes are removed momentarily as the chart progresses to a shout chorus that builds smoothly to its zenith, and then decisively leads to a coda that features effective linear writing between each section of the ensemble. Sure to be a favorite with the band and audience alike, add It’s Awf’ly Nice Just Walkin’ With You to your next concert or contest!

This easy swing ballad pays homage to the great Neal Hefti and his classic Li'l Darlin', which was written for the Count Basie Orchestra and is now standard repertoire in the big band genre. There is plenty of ensemble work, along with a great written tenor sax solo (also with chord symbols). For greater performance flexibility, an optional solo sheet is included for other instruments as well. A great vehicle for teaching the most basic elements of jazz in a musical setting!
