Michele Weir arranged this beautiful Thad Jones ballad while she was a member of the PM Singers. The rhythm section is employed after the A section and continues throughout the remainder of the chart. A simple melody with lush harmony and lovely phrases make this ballad a truly great chart. It provides musical interest but is accessible to singers and audiences alike. A bonus from the arranger: the rhythm section parts are written out!
