Edition: Jazz Studio Orchestra Arrangement with Vocal

Description: Swing - Medium Easy

Publisher: Jazz Lines Publications

Well, here is another classic, instantly recognizable Frank Sinatra arrangement. This chart comes from the 1996 'Strangers in the Night' record, which, despite the success of the record, proved to be last collaboration between Sinatra and Riddle. An organ is featured on the recording (along with piano). In addition, the ending is scored for alto 1 and tenor 1 to double on flutes. An optional sythesizer part has been included that may be used in the event that you do not have access to string players.

This is a very straight-forward chart with no big surprises. The trick is to get that laid-back, Basie-style, swing feel. The tempo is approximately 92 bpm. The ranges are very comfortable, but the vocals go through several modulations: D flat to E flat to F. This is just another great, must-have Sinatra chart that your audience will love!

In February 2016 we updated this publication and it is now based on the original set of parts - this is not a transcription.
