SKU: JL.LL-1182

By Harry James. Arranged by Myles Collins. Swing. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1182).

A hit for the Harry James Orchestra, this transcription is taken from James' 1955 studio recording. It is a medium tempo trumpet & tenor feature that just grooves along at a relaxed pace, with a bluesy laid-back feel. James' trumpet solo has been written out in full (including the scream up to super G), but the tenor solo has been left open for improvisation by your player. The brass ranges call for trumpets 3 & 4 to reach high Bb and trombones to reach high A in the unison pasages, though the feel of the chart will not be lost if some of the players drop down an octave. There are no sax doubles.
