This is such a fun, jazzy arrangement of a joyful song! It's filled with swing 8ths and triplets and blues scales (though starting on the 3rd note of the blues scale, so it emphasizes the major/happier sound).

The jazzy ending on this and Walking in Blue are the same, and I use this as a fun ending on several songs I do, so this is a good ending to learn for your "arranger's toolbox"! Hoping to do some free tutorial videos soon...
