Written for and recorded by the Sammy Sammy Nestico Orchestra on the CD This Is The Moment, this minor blues explores a variety of colors within the full-band setting. For this reason, striving for good blend on the alto/trumpet and tenor/trombone figures are very important. If possible, the guitarist should comp most of his/her part rather than playing it in straight time.

In its original form the Suite was written in answer to a commission from the Farnham Festival and was first performed on 11 May 1971. I was, however, not entirely satisfied with it and did not pass it for publication until 1982, when I revised it in considerable detail. In its revised form it was first performed on 18 June, 1983, at Monash University, Melbourne. The music requires little explanation. The titles of each of the five movements indicate their character: 'Fanfare'; 'Dance', which has Elizabethan overtones; 'Popular Song', which explores jazz rhythms and harmonies; 'Ceremony' - a solemn chorale; and 'Finale', a light-hearted Rondo with fugal touches. The overall intention is simply to entertain both the players and their audiences.

A funky rock chart with attitude, this piece is good-naturedly dedicated to that one person in the band who makes everyone late as their friends chant we gotta go in exasperation. The Saxes take the main theme with brass answering lines, then the roles are flipped for the B section. Lots of Cowbell underscores the call and response bridge, leading into solos for Tenor Saxophone and Trumpet.

The clever title says it all: this is a great introduction to B flat rhythm changes. Swinging throughout at a tempo of 132 every section of the band gets a chance to shine. There are three written solos...Alto Sax 1 on the first A section, Trumpet 1 or 2 on the second A and Piano on the bridge. A fun shout chorus leads to a recap of the catchy tune with a splashy Basie ending.
