The tempo surges back to 226 BPM for Arthur Schwartz's dramatic standard, with three soloists stretching out over the 32-bar AABA form in C minor. Lefkowitz-Brown leads with nine choruses on tenor saxophone, Feifke follows with five on piano, and Chmielinski adds a three-chorus bass solo. The twelve-minute performance returns the energy to the intensity level of the earlier uptempo numbers after the quiet Legrand ballad. Originally composed by Schwartz with lyrics by Howard Dietz for the 1934 Broadway revue Revenge with Music, the tune's brooding minor-key harmony and dramatic bridge have made it a favorite vehicle for jazz improvisers since the 1950s. The quartet's swinging treatment emphasizes the tune's rhythmic drive, with the seventeen total solo choruses spread across three players giving each room for extended development. The set then eases into the medium-tempo Stompin' at the Savoy.
