Another quality chart from Jerry Nowak. This 'Day in the Life of a Fool' jazz ensemble arrangement is exactly what you need for professional gigs. The medium tempo Bossa feel is authentic, and the arrangement is standard enough to fit most vocalists. Parts are well-laid out, and I expect clear chord symbols for quick reads.
