Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Ballad - Medium Difficult

Publisher: Sierra Music

This is surely one of Gershwin's most beautiful melodies, and Potts arranged it to feature trumpet throughout (as recorded on the 1959 album "The Jazz Soul of Porgy & Bess", featuring the Bill Potts Big Band). Lush orchestration, rich harmonies, reasonable ranges and a touching ending make this chart a great choice for festival programming. This should be in every big band book. 5-5-5-4
