SKU: JL.LL-2257

By Barry Manilow. Arranged by Myles Collins. Jazz Vocal. Swing. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-2257).

Taken from Barry Manilow's 1978 album 'Even Now,' this chart is a great lounge ballad with a bluesy feel. Opening with solo piano, the vocal enters backed by just the rhythm section. The saxes add to the build, supported by muted trumpets, and the trombones then lead the bridge. The instrumental break is big and powerful with lush voicings, whilst not being too overpowering. The vocalist re-enters with a half step up modulation into the final chorus and the chart finishes up with a big crescendo, piano solo lick and muted trumpet solo fill to fade. The brass ranges are moderate, and there are no sax doubles. The vocal keys are Ab to A. Ranges: Trumpets 1-4: C#6, Ab5, Ab5, F5 Trombones 1-4: G#4, Eb4, Eb4, Eb4 Vocal Key: Ab modulating to A Male Vocal Range: Bb2 - Eb4 (11 steps, as sung).
