  The connection between analytic and Monte Carlo calculations of soft gluon
emission is reanalyzed in light of recent, theoretical developments in
resummation. An alternative Monte Carlo algorithm is suggested which
incorporates (1) corrections beyond leading order to the showering and (2)
smoothly merges with the higher order calculation of single, hard parton
emission. In particular, it is possible to study jet properties in heavy boson
production for all values of the boson transverse momentum with a total cross
section of NLO accuracy. The specific cases of $W$, $Z$ and Higgs boson
production at the Tevatron are addressed using a modified version of the Pythia
Monte Carlo.
