My brass quintet, Mardi Brass (name apparently sounds funnier with an English accent, but they named the group before I joined), has an original arrangement of this tune which features each instrument in jazz solos. There are written solos as well as chord changes. It's a very nice, up tempo jazz arrangement. Some of the backing rhythms, while not complex, can be tricky to keep tight during the solo sections.
We haven't published it yet, but if you are interested in purchasing a copy, let me know and we can discuss the details.
I could send you either a hard copy of score and parts, or an electronic version with a plug in to allow you to print your own copies.
Please contact me privately at elvis(AT)gtemail.net if you want to enquire more about this or any of our other arrangements.
Thanks,
Jeff
