Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement with Vocal

Description: Swing - Medium Easy

Publisher: Jazz Lines Publications

Arranged by Sammy Nestico for singer Helen O'Connnell, this swinging arrangement was never recorded to the best of our knowledge. It was, however, performed live on the radio on July 15, 1970 (radio broadcast from the Rainbow Grill in New York City). This is not a transcription, the original manuscript was used.

The chart begins with a great swinging figure in the Basie tradition. Alto 1 doubles on clarinet. The vocal key starts in A flat then modulates to B flat and ends up in B.
