Moon Mist Orchestra - Sheet Music

We're all familiar with the famous Charlie Parker with Strings recordings that were made in 1949 and the early 1950s. Parker recorded these in the studio and did many live concerts. At first the reception from the critics wasn't so great. But, over time there recordings have been cherished by jazz fans all over the world. In fact, Parker's recording of Just Friends with strings became his best-selling single. Well, it may surprise you to know that there were several arrangements that were rehearsed for Parker's 1949 'With Strings' session that were either not recorded or were scrapped. This chart was arranged by Mercer Ellington for the 1950 date but was not recorded. We don't know the specific reason it wasn't recorded. This arrangement has the same instrumentation as the others from this session: Solo alto saxophone part, oboe, 3 violins, viola, cello, harp, guitar, piano, bass, and drums.Instrumentation: Full Score, Alto Saxophone Soloist, Oboe, 3 Violins, Viola, Cello, Harp, Guitar, Piano, Bass, Drums
