Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement with Vocal

Description: Ballad - Medium Easy

Publisher: Lush Life Music

Here is a rare chart from the Stan Kenton orchestra, with June Christy as the vocalist. This chart is a dual feature; vocals and sax section, and has very limited contributions from the brass which only enter near the end of the arrangement. The chart opens with a Kenton piano solo and moves straight into the vocal chorus, backed only by saxes and rhythm. A modulation leads to a couple of lush sax solis followed by a reversion to the original vocal key of C, where a series of alternating patterns of double and single time feel add real interest to the chart. The Trombones provide the backings here, and the Trumpets enter in the last 3 measures of the arrangement to bring it to a rousing finish. The vocal key is C and there are no Sax doubles.
