It’s Not Unusual - Vocal with Small band
Arranged in the style of Tom Jones
This vibrant small band arrangement of It’s Not Unusual captures the infectious energy, swagger, and brass-driven excitement of Tom Jones’ classic hit. Faithful to the original feel, the chart features bold horn lines, driving rhythmic figures, and a lively groove that supports a confident, charismatic vocal performance. The arrangement keeps the spirit of the original intact while remaining practical and flexible for a wide range of ensembles.
Scored for male vocal with small band, the vocal part is presented without lyrics, allowing the singer interpretive freedom while locking in with the band’s tight rhythmic framework. The horn writing is punchy and idiomatic, giving the chart strong impact even with reduced instrumentation, making it ideal for club shows, cabaret performances, corporate events, and concert programs.
