Review:
"Slow and Bluesy," is the marking that arranger Sondra Tucker gives her setting of the lively spiritual. For 12 measures the introduction "slides" around chromatically before settling into a fast, swing style at half note = 84. A walking bass line is marked with staccato technique while the upper bells on melody employ ring touch to make a point. Arranged in Eb Major and F Major, measures total 87.
