Publisher: Lush Life Music
This song was written by Mel Powell when he was pianist with the Goodman orchestra, and it was a hit in 1942. Glenn Miller, whilst in charge of the US Army Air Force Training Command Band, used it as a vehicle for showing the Clarinet skills of Peanuts Hucko. It also fitted well into a series of numbers that were patriotic and supported the war effort - tunes such as "Keep 'Em Flying," "Tail End Charlie" and "Jeep Jockey Jump." This is a great punchy swing chart, and you will need a good Clarinet player to do it justice. Lead Alto doubles Clarinet, Baritone doubles Alto.
