Big band with vocal - Difficult

SKU: JL.LL-2103

By Charlie Shavers With Tommy Dorsey. Arranged by Myles Collins. Jazz Vocal. Swing. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-2103).

Birmingham Bounce is a postwar chart from the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, featuring the singing and fiery Trumpet of Charlie Shavers. This is a very good dance chart and it has a lot of nice features in the arrangement - Vocal stops, hand claps, powerful ensemble passages, a solo spot for Tenor and some screaming Trumpet licks too. As the name suggests, this chart really bounces along. We have rated it Medium / Advanced, as the Trumpet soloist has a written high F and the Trombones need to reach Bb. Birmingham Bounce is a refreshing change to the usual vocal fare. The key is Eb and would suit a high Baritone or an Alto. Trumpets 1-4: Eb6, Eb6 (F6 opt), Bb5, A55 Trombones 1-4: Bb4, Bb4, Bb4, Gb4 Vocal key Eb Male or Female Eb3 - Gb4 (10 steps).
