Another Lazy Day (S.Nestico)

Bring the timeless swing of Sammy Nestico to your ensemble with this authentic big band arrangement of "Another Lazy Day." This 22-page chart, complete with individual parts for Alto Sax, Tenor Sax, Baritone Sax, Trumpet, Trombone, Piano, Bass, and Drums, captures Nestico's signature lush harmonies and sophisticated voicings. As both composer and arranger, Nestico imbues this jazz standard with a relaxed yet engaging medium-swing tempo feel, characterized by flowing melodic lines and his hallmark rich brass and saxophone section writing. The harmonic language is distinctly Nestico, employing sophisticated jazz harmonies without being overly complex, making it accessible for intermediate to advanced jazz ensembles.
