I play the tune in "D" which, I believe, is the original key...I use Fingered On Bass, and set the split point to Ab2 to be able to play the second chord, Bm6, in root position.

Solo voices...usually start with SA Concert Guitar, and then change to Cool! Suitcase EP...I use a strings layer for the Bridge, and, of course, Sax (in this case, SA Breathy Sax) for the solo...last verse, either SA Concert guitar or Electric piano (sometimes I layer them).

For my own take on the arrangement, I start the tune without the intro, and then play the style intro after the first verse.

It is a great restaurant tune...busy and lively, but not too aggressive.
