A beautiful ballad featuring John Gilmore, Lee Morgan, and Curtis Fuller from 1965. Written by pianist John Hicks, this sentimental waltz embodies all of my favorite attributes of a jazz waltz: syncopated valse rhythm, playful and sweet melodies, delicate piano solos, and even a boisterous but not too out of way trombone solo! Grachan Moncur III is still my go-to trombonist in jazz, but Fuller always knew how to blend into any ensemble or group.
