Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement with Vocal

Description: Swing - Medium

Publisher: Lush Life Music

This creamy version of "If I Had You" is taken from "A Swingin' Affair," Sinatra's 12th studio album, conducted and arranged by Nelson Riddle. This chart has been adapated so that the original string lines have been rescored into the band. Alto 1 doubles clarinet, and it is the clarinet-led reeds that take the pick-up into, and first 8 measures of the instrumental half-chorus in the middle of the chart. The trombones take a 4 measure soli after the saxes, and their range is quite high, with the lead trombone to C5 and second to A4. The feel and flavor of the original Riddle chart has been retained. The muted trumpet fills and the little drum licks and fills that add punch in just the right places have been transcribed and included. The vocal line is written as-sung by Sinatra. The vocal key is Ab throughout. Style: Swing @ 120 b.p.m.
