Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement with Vocal

Description: Swing - Medium Easy

Publisher: Lush Life Music

Here is a transcription of the Doris Day / Les Brown chart on "Celery Stalks At Midnight." It is equally suitable for dance or concert performance and, aside from the obvious vocal feature, contains cameo solos for trombone and tenor. Whilst the tune is probably more associated with the Will Bradley Orchestra, this Doris Day gem bounces along nicely and plays down with a big, fat sound. There are no sax doubles and the brass ranges are moderate.
