Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement with Vocal

Description: Swing - Medium

Publisher: Lush Life Music

Here is another original Helen O'Connell chart as played by her on her many concert tours. The tune was written by Johnny Burke & Jimmy van Heusen for the Paramount film "And the Angels Sing." This arrangement is not a transcription, but a re-score of the original Frankie Ortega chart. To the best of our knowledge this chart was not commercially recorded, hence there is no audio sample. The chart opens colla voce, just voice and piano, joined in tempo (100) by the band for the first chorus. In typical O'Connell style, the chart picks up into swing (180) for the final chorus. The saxes are scored to double clarinets, although alternate parts on the reverse which eliminate the need to double have been provided. The vocal key is C throughout.
