Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Swing - Medium Difficult

Publisher: Lush Life Music

Another classic from the pen of Sy Oliver, and a famous tune for the Dorsey band, though much copied and adapted by other bands. Anita O'Day recorded a vocal version with Gene Krupa, and Ted Heath used it as a stock chart. This is as per the original, with the strings part. Both Alto saxes double Clarinet (for the great middle passage of Clarinets over a pair of muted Trumpets), and the lead Alto takes both Clarinet solos, which has been written out. Likewise, the Piano solo is written out too. This is a medium to advanced chart in terms of difficulty. By far the trickiest bit is the semiquaver, semitonal sax run which introduces the key change into the last chorus. Nimble fingers are needed.
