Here is a transcription and adaptation of the Johnny Mandel arrangement of The Coffee Song, recorded by Frank Sinatra for the 'Ring a Ding Ding" album. This arrangement moves back and forth between Latin and swing feels. The chart starts in Bb and then modulates for B for the shout chorus and then to C for the re-entry of the vocals. There is a short trumpet solo behind the vocals (chord changes provided). There are no saxophone doubles. The string parts are included but have also been scored into the ensemble should you wish to do this as a straight big band with vocal arrangement. In addition, an optional synthesizer part is included that may be used in place of the strings.

Instrumentation: Full Score, Vocal, 2 Alto Saxophones, 2 Tenor Saxophones, Baritone Saxophone, 4 Trumpets, 3 Trombones, Bass Trombone, 2 Violins, Viola, Cello, Guitar, Piano, Bass, Drums, Synthesizer (alternate part for strings).
