♩ = 154 · four-beat count-in · ● valve down · ○ valve up

Orange numbers = scale degree of each note over the chord sounding beneath it

9ths and 6ths/13ths are upper extensions that add color above the basic chord tones.
Half-step runs act as chromatic approach tones leading into the next chord tone.

Let the falling chromatics stay even. Play boldly but keep the valves light and the air moving.
