Big band - Difficult

SKU: JL.LL-2305

By Charlie Barnet. Edited by Myles Collins. Arranged by Andy Gibson. Swing. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-2305).

This is a transcription of Charlie Barnet's original version (recorded in Hollywood in 1947), which also featured Bunny Briggs doing a scat vocal solo over the band in the first chorus. A vocal part for this scat has NOT included preferring instead to have the chart as a band vocal feature. Barnet's tenor solo is written out in full (on the tenor 1 part), along with the little soprano sax lick at the end, though this can be played on tenor instead. The trumpet solo is written out on the trumpet 2 part. Brass ranges are high - lead trumpet to F6, lead trombone to C5. As a result, the chart is graded difficult. There are no sax doubles. Swing @ 165 b.p.m. Ranges: Trumpets 1-4: F6, Bb5, C#6, A5 Trombones 1-4: C5, Ab4, G4, G4 Vocal key: Ab Vocal - unison band - Eb to Eb 1 octave.
