Swishy came to me very suddenly and very randomly. I had been thinking about how many medium-level jazz band charts don't typically expose the players to ex­tended chords, so I centred much of this piece around just that. When I wrote this, I had also realized that it had been a while since I last wrote a swing chart, so this is me re­turning to my roots. I took some inspiration from Count Basie big band charts as well when writing this piece, hoping that it would be more good exposure for the performers. This is a great piece to push the envelope as well as give the saxophones a bit of a workout.
