Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement with Vocal

Description: Swing - Medium

Publisher: Lush Life Music

Here is a hard-swinging vocal chart of "The Best Things In Life Are Free" as performed by Jo Stafford and backed by the Paul Weston Orchestra. The chart opens with a punchy vocal verse, then a full vocal chorus supported nicely by the band backings, followed by a slick modulation to an instrumental chorus which features an ad-lib piano solo, then an equally slick modulation to Ab for the final vocal section. The original Weston arrangement was by scored for only 5 brass, but this publication has been augmented to 8 brass voices, making the chart playable by a full 5444 line-up. The vocal keys are G & Ab and there are no sax doubles.
