Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement with Vocal

Description: Swing/Beguine - Medium Easy

Publisher: Lush Life Music

Transcribed from Julie London's 1961 Liberty Records album "Whatever Julie Wants", this is a very cool chart that switches effortlessly between swing and beguine feels. Overall the chart is relaxed, breezy and nicely laid-back. The vocal part is scored as-sung by Julie London and the subtle background piano licks have been transcribed that help give the chart its unique flavor. The original string lines have been re-scored into the band, whilst maintaining the integrity of the original concept. There are no sax doubles and the vocal key is C throughout.
