Additional info/contents	Because of the restriction in range - the plucked double bass would sound in a much lower register - the bass part in particular had to be arranged differently from the big band version: The broken chords of the original were transformed into a melodically attractive "walking bass" for the baritone saxophone. The omission of the drums with their swinging basic rhythm and "fill ins" was compensated for by small rhythmic extras - also in the baritone saxophone part. The solos known since Glenn Miller with their many "blue notes" for alto and tenor saxophone were taken over, the trumpet solo appears to be transformed into a soprano saxophone solo. Incidentally, a little bit of show business can't hurt in the performance: The various riffs, the clownish leaps in the tenor solo and the deep "trombone tone" towards the end of the piece (also in the tenor saxophone), which seems grotesque at least in the forte, provide ample opportunity for this.
