So, I invite and would appreciate full feedback on it.
Let me describe a bit, what I didn't attempt to notate. The Intro/Outro is what it says it is, 8 bars in front and back of the whole tune to establish that theme. The form is A - A - B - A. I normally write out the last A, but I wanted it to fit on one page and the intro/outro took space. I hear over the intro/outro and A sections a "Sing Sing Sing'esque" floor tom pattern. The bridge goes to a hard swing. The solos are played in time without an arrangement. Should be a '60's hard bop feel; think Mobley/Morgan.
This is a concert chart, by the way, despite the horn specifications.

I finally have a referancable recording of this tune and would love your feedback on it. I've still got some tweaking to do with it, but it's at least representative of what I intended. And, it's a ****load of fun to play. Please give it a whirl and let me know your thoughts.
It should auto-stream when you open my site, at least for now. If you're looking back on this thread someday, you may have to click through the media player to find "Next To You".
Last disclaimer: This was a quick rehearsal recording, yada, yada, yada.
