Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement with Vocal Trio

Description: Swing - Medium

Publisher: Lush Life Music

This tune was first recorded by the Andrews Sisters for their 1942 film "Give Out, Sisters." Though initially not a great success, the song steadily gained popularity and grew to become one of their best known numbers. This transcription is true to the original studio chart, though the band parts have been augmented to bring it to a full 5444 big band line-up. The vocal lines are as sung by Maxine, Patty and LaVerne. The reeds are scored for two clarinets, two tenors and baritone throughout. Whilst the band parts are not particularly tricky in themselves, they need to be played with good discipline and precision, else the chart will sound ragged.
