By Billie Holiday. By Billie Holiday. Arranged by Steve Eads. This edition: pdf. Big Band, Blues, Instructional, Jazz, Standards. 54 pages. Steve Eads #1257155. Published by Steve Eads (A0.1692374).This chart is a big band arrangement of Billie Holiday's first copyrighted composition - apparently completed just before her recording session in 1936 with Art (Artie) Shaw. It was released under Billie’s name as “I Love My Man.” Shaw takes a (very long) solo on that recording which is quite up-tempo. I enjoy the slower tempos of later recordings and suggest crotchet (quarter) = 74-82.
The piece is in concert Ab. Lead trumpet goes up to concert B6 and first trombone to Ab4. There are solo opportunities for Trombone 1, Trumpet 2 and Guitar. There are a few intricate rhythmic figures which are easily mastered once rehearsed..
Standard instrumentation: 5 saxes, 4 trumpets, 3 trombones and bass trombone, piano, bass, drums and guitar. A Full Score is included. Duration is about 5’ 40”.
I hope you enoy!
