Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement with Vocal

Description: Latin - Medium Easy

Publisher: Lush Life Music

This chart has been transcribed from the album "Bette Midler Sings the Rosemary Clooney Songbook." This arrangement packs a bit more punch than Ms. Clooney's original, and will be an almost guaranteed hit at any concert or dance. The rhythm parts are written out, though your players can lay down their own interpretations if preferred. The backing vocals have been scored into the sax parts, and if your players aren't comfortable singing they can simply play the notes instead. This is a high energy Latin chart, and a great addition to any library. The vocal key is G minor, modulating to Ab minor for the final chorus. The range is such that it is quite singable by most male singers too. There are no sax doubles. Latin @ 145 b.p.m.
