Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Swing - Medium Difficult

Publisher: Lush Life Music

An absolutely storming chart from the Benny Goodman orchestra. Goodman made several takes of this tune, before deciding on which version to issue on record. The chart was rather lengthy in its original form, and had to be pared down in order to fit onto one side of a 78-rpm record. It has been reconstructed as the as-recorded chart, originally scored by Fletcher Henderson. There are solos for piano, trumpet and clarinet and the saxes are scored for clarinet, 2 altos and 2 tenors. The brass has been expanded from the original 5 to a full section of 8.
