A hit by vocal star Josh Groban, sung as a tribute to the Space Shuttle Columbia astronauts, this uplifting melody is arranged by Mike Smukal for the young jazz ensemble. Featuring a tenor sax solo with modest brass ranges, this straight-eighth-note chart will come together quickly. The chart builds intensity with modulations from F to G to A-flat.
