Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement With Vocal

Description: Swing - Medium Difficult

Publisher: Lush Life Music

 

From the publisher:
"Puttin' On the Ritz has been transcribed from the original Paul Weston chart, written for Ella Fitzgerald's Irving Berlin Songbook album. The structure of this chart is: intro, full vocal chorus, instrumental half-chorus (with Alto solos - written out), vocal half chorus and vocal close-out. The band backings behind the vocalist are tight and crisp, so nimble fingers will be needed to keep things tidy. This is a hard-swinging chart which will make a great vocal showcase. There are no sax doubles and the vocal key is Cm throughout."
