I absolutely love this Mark Taylor arrangement of Hoagy Carmichael's 'The Nearness of You'! The Grade 4 difficulty is challenging but so rewarding for my community jazz band. It truly captures that 'sensuous slow Latin groove' perfectly, and the tenor sax feature sounds amazing. Playing this piece is such a relaxing and enjoyable experience, bringing that classic jazz feel to life with our group.

Mark Taylor's arrangement of 'The Nearness of You' for jazz ensemble is solid. The Grade 4 difficulty means it's playable with competent musicians, and the 'sensuous slow Latin groove' gives it a classy vibe perfect for events. Chord symbols are clear and accurate for the rhythm section. It's a standard Hoagy Carmichael tune, so it fits well into diverse sets. Definitely a reliable piece for the book.
