Danny Boy
A unique treatment of the traditional tune. After a woodwind-heavy straight-eighth ballad rendition of the melody, the brass take the lead for a great swing shout. The entire chart is a delicate and masterful balance between staying true to a classic melody that audience members will recognize, and incorporating exciting harmonic and rhythmic twists that provide interest for jazz aficionados.
