SKU: WA.60287

Composed by Frederick "Dave" Snider. Score and parts. Published by Walrus Music Publishing (WA.60287).

St. Louis Blues is a great composition by W. C Handy and is the first blues to be published in 1914 and at the same time succeeding as a pop song. This chart is arranged following the same general form as Glenn Miller's version with some additions to create interest. Harmonies/chords have been upgraded from major 6/9 and minor 6 chords to dominant and minor 7ths chords and syncopating melodies and backgrounds to give the chart a more modern and acceptable sound. Also, the solo section has been opened up.
