Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement with Vocal
Description: Ballad - Medium
Publisher: Lush Life Music
"I Had The Craziest Dream" was another big hit for the Harry James Orchestra in his "band that swings with strings" period. It is a romantic, floaty ballad, sung by Helen Forrest, and which also features a James trademark trumpet solo. This chart was originally recorded with big band plus string section, and some additional orchestral backing. We have modified the arrangement by removing the strings and extra instruments, to make it suitable for a standard 5,4,4,4 line-up. Therefore both Alto Saxes double Clarinet, and the French Horn solo lines have been re-assigned to Trombone 1, with an upper range of C5. Harry James' solo is written out in full. The vocal key is Ab.
