Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement with Vocal

Description: Swing - Difficult

Publisher: Lush Life Music

Transcribed from her "Unforgettable" album, here is Natalie Cole's up tempo, hard swinging version of "Almost Like Being In Love." This chart really kicks from start to finish, and is full of power and punch, though it is not that easy to get right. The band will need to be tight, and the trumpet section has some quick unison lines to get their fingers around. Precision is needed otherwise things can get messy. Ms. Cole's vocal line is notated as sung, including the little scat towards the end of the instrumental bridge, and the muted trumpet solo at the close has been written out. There are no sax doubles and the vocal key is F, modulating to Gb in the final chorus.
