The original full title of this number was “Squiffy’s Song – the Morning after the Night Before”, and is dedicated to Liz Reinhardt. Liz became “bottler” for Saxtet during a tour of Germany where she acquired the nickname “Squiffy”. (A bottler is someone who passes the hat round for buskers).
This poignant ballad was recorded with sax on the ‘Safer Sax’ CD. It includes an optional section with chord symbols for improvisation.
The PDF E-Edition bundle includes Bb and Eb saxophone parts, piano accompaniment, and an MP3 play-along track for practice purposes.
