Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement With Vocal

Description: Swing - Medium Difficult

Publisher: Lush Life Music

Transcribed from Neal Hefti's outstanding chart written for Sinatra's 1962 album "Sinatra and Swingin' Brass," this chart is a fast-paced, high energy, hard-swinging beauty. The vocal chart is notated as sung by Mr Sinatra on the album track, and the Bass part is treated in similar fashion. To reference this transcription the publisher has used both the final version of the recording that was released on the album and the original studio masters, in order to create a transcription that is a true relfection of Neal Hefti's original intent. Interestingly, although the song itself was composed by Kern in the key of F, Hefti's original chart was in E which, as many instrumentalists will be quick to point out, can be a bit tricky to play. So, to make life a little easier all round, the parts are all printed double sided, with the reverse of the parts taken down a half step to the friendlier key of Eb. There are no sax doubles.
