Exploring a wealth of overlapping instrumental colors, this very delicate and superbly orchestrated setting made its first appearance recorded by Diana Krall. A study in tension and release, there is a haunting quality that helps make this a stunningly beautiful arrangement, and clearly shows why John Clayton is one of the premier writers in the business today. (Alto Saxes double on Clarinet, and Bari. Sax doubles Bass Clarinet)

Recorded on “Smack Dab in the Middle” – The Hal Leonard Jazz Orchestra, conducted by John Clayton (07011581)
