Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement With Vocal Group

Description: Swing - Medium

Publisher: Lush Life Music

Written by Bobby Troup (of Route 66 fame) and arranged by Sy Oliver, this tune was a hit for the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra and Pied Pipers. This chart is scored for a four piece vocal group and full 5-4-4-4 big band. The chart is an out-and-out vocal feature and would make a great showcase for your singing group. The first vocal chorus (in the key of C) is taken by the vocal group. The second is in the form of call and response between two of the singers and the last chorus (in the key of Bb) is vocal group to the close. There are no sax doubles.

Style: Swing @ 120 b.p.m.
