Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement with Vocal

Description: Swing - Medium

Publisher: Jazz Lines Publications

Here is Quincy Jones's arrangement originally written for the 1964 Sinatra/Basie studio collaboration 'It Might As Well Be Swing.' This arrangement was also used a few times during the 1965 Sinatra/Basie summer tour and then at the famous 1966 'Live at the Sands' concert. This publication comes from the original parts. Alto 1 and tenor 1 double on flute. As was customary for these recordings, Harry 'Sweets' Edison would play fills throughout the arrangement and typically didn't have a part. For this publication we have included those fill spots in trumpet 4 (they are not written out).
