Composed by Oscar Levant. Arranged by Jeremy Landig. This edition: pdf. Contemporary. Octavo. 25 pages. Landig Music Productions #6092105. Published by Landig Music Productions (A0.882989).An arrangement of the classic ballad for vocal jazz ensembles, based loosely on the recording by Carmen McRae and inspired by the writing style of Phil Mattson. SSATB (one bass/bari split at the end can be omitted)
A female soloist is featured at the beginning, during the middle of the 1st verse, and at the very end. Crunchy turns of harmony -- lots of extended chords, #9 dissonances, and mid-verse key and texture shifting to keep your advanced group engaged. There is a piano solo after the first verse; it can be replaced with a vocal or instrumental solo. A sample solo is written out for pianists who need it; chords are indicated.
Contents:
A vocal / piano / bass score
Vocal-only reproducible chart
Bass chart with chords (can be used for any rhythm section player that reads chord symbols)
Drum map (without those pesky chords)
Written-out piano part for accompanists who aren't used to comping chords.
