As a pianist supporting an ensemble, this Sammy Nestico arrangement of "My Funny Valentine" (Grade 3) offers a well-crafted piano part. It effectively provides harmonic and rhythmic texture for the "ballad style," beautifully complementing the lead instruments (like trumpet/flugel). The ensemble scoring ensures the piano contributes meaningfully without overpowering, allowing clear melodic lines to shine through for the whole group.

A reliable arrangement of "My Funny Valentine" by Sammy Nestico. As a gigging musician, a Grade 3 jazz standard like this is perfect for school functions or even a casual club date. The "Full Score and Parts" format is practical, and the "ballad style" means it's a pleasant, accessible chart. Chord changes are clear and accurate, making it a great last-minute addition to a set.

I absolutely adore "My Funny Valentine," and this Sammy Nestico arrangement is so enjoyable to play. As an adult hobbyist, the Grade 3 difficulty is just right – challenging enough to feel rewarding but not overwhelming. It really captures that classic ballad jazz feel, sounding wonderful within the ensemble. Playing a timeless standard like this is a great way to relax and improve my ensemble playing.

This Sammy Nestico arrangement of "My Funny Valentine" is a fantastic Grade 3 chart for school ensembles. The "Young Jazz Classics" series delivers clear engraving, making it easy for students to read. The ballad style is great for teaching nuanced phrasing and dynamics. I particularly appreciate the "brief very easy section in 3/4," offering a gentle rhythmic challenge. Highly recommend for developing jazz bands!
