I’M Gonna Sit Right Down And Write Myself A Letter- music by Fred E. Ahlert  and lyrics by Joe Young. Written in 1935 and one of the most recorded songs ever.  It seemed to work in all genres. Rock, Swing, Pop…on and on.  Recorded by Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Barry Manilow, Willie Nelson, Bill Haley and His Comets, Fats Waller and Count Basie. Even Paul McCartney. 

This arrangement is in the style of Basie’s LIL’ DARLIN’…a slow burn.  Relaxed, but full of energy.

It is written for "small" big band; Alto, Tenor, Bari, 2 Trumpets, Trombone and 5 rhythm (including opt. vibes and guitar).  There are alternate parts and a score included.  The solo section can be played by anyone (a solo sheet for all parts is included). Difficulty: Intermediate.  Lead Tpt A5.

A standard of the Great American Songbook.
