Story behind the song
The only time I've ever played with an orchestra was when I played the soprano sax part for Bolero. I memorized my part so that I wouldn't screw up. After learning it, I found certain licks from the melody creeping into my jazz solos, so I decided to just record the whole thing as a jazz tune.
