Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement With Vocal

Description: Swing - Medium Difficult

Publisher: Lush Life Music

 

Written by Count Basie and his vocalist, Jimmy Rushing, this tune was a staple of the early Basie band. The chart that we offer here is a later vocal version written for Peggy Lee by Quincy Jones. It still retains a certain Basie flavour, as one might expect from a QJ chart. The band backings complement the vocal lines and the instrumental bridge has a great double-time feel at its heart. The brass ranges are quite high. You will need a lead Trumpet who can repeatedly hit a written high F (four times in the chart) and the lead Trombone reaches high C too. IF your players have the chops, this chart is for them. There are no sax doubles and the vocal key is C throughout.
Written by: Count Basie and Jimmy Rushing
Duration: 2 mins 35 secs
Style: Swing @ 90 b.p.m.
   
Ranges:
  Trumpets 1-4 F6, D6, D6, G5
  Trombones 1-4 C5, A4, G4, Eb4
  Vocal key C D3 - C5 (14 steps, as sung)
