SKU: JL.LL-2383S

By Ella Fitzgerald. Arranged by Frank DeVol. Jazz Vocal. Swing; Jazz. Score only. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-2383S).

This chart has been transcribed and adapted from the Frank DeVol arrangement written for Ella's 1960 Verve album "Ella Wishes You a Swinging Christmas." Removed are much of the orchestral woodwinds and the chart has been re-scored to suit a standard 5/4/4/4 line-up. Alto 1 is written to double on flute. However, the reed parts are printed double sided, with the reverse of the parts scored for a regular AATTB section without a flute double. As the voicings are slightly different, please have your players use the same version. Overall this is an easy chart to play, with very moderate trumpet ranges; lead trumpet to F (top line of stave) though lead trombone has to reach to Bb. The vocal part is scored "as sung" by Ella, and the vocal key is Ab. A wonderful addition to your festive charts.

Ranges: Trumpets 1-4: F5, F5, F5, F5; Trombones 1-4: Bb4, F4, F4, C4; Vocal key: Ab; Vocal range: G3 - Eb5 (13 steps, as sung).
