As recorded by the Count Basie Orchestra on “This Time by Basie,”
this arrangement by Billy Byers of Cole Porter’s melody is pure Basie. Opening
with a short Basie-ish figure, the band then swings at a bright tempo into a
terrific version of this great melody. Byers really understood what the Basie Band was, and this chart is no
exception. There is a solo for tenor saxophone. Moderate ranges for all. 5-4-4-4
