Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement With Vocal

Description: Swing - Medium

Publisher: Lush Life Music

Forty Cups Of Coffee was written by Danny Overbea and recorded by Ella Mae Morse on Capitol F2539. Dave Cavanaugh wrote the arrangement and provided the studio orchestra. This transcription is augmented up to a full 5-4-4-4 big band lineup without losing the feel, flavour and intent of the original chart. Included are the little guitar licks on the part, and they are cross-cued them onto the piano part in case your band doesn't include a guitarist. The drum licks and fills are notated "as-played" on the original recording too. The vocal part is likewise notated "as-sung" by Ella Mae. This chart has a very relaxed, bluesy feel and the band backings complement, rather than hinder, the vocalist. The brass ranges are fairly moderate, although trumpet 1 is written to a high F at the close. Also included are ossia closing notes on the trumpet parts, to lower the ranges a little. There are no sax doubles and the vocal key is Ab throughout.
