Blue Moon—Lorenz Hart & Richard Rodgers/
arr. Roger Emerson. Developing mixed and treble
choirs will enjoy performing this jazz inflected doo-
wop song written in the 1930s, but made popular
in 1961 by the Marcels. With careful attention to
range and voice-leading, this pop standard is a
perfect selection for teaching blend, style, swing
rhythms and articulation. A quick learn, with a
great track that features many additional teaching
resources. A pleasing concert selection!

Berlin's quintessential song is a classic of swing
style, and this straightforward, singable arrangement
brings Berlin's standard to vocal jazz and show choirs
of any level. The swing groove is established in the
beginning with choral voices accompanied by finger
snaps and bass guitar. Later in the arrangement,
written-out scat solos will encourage younger singers
to try this vocal jazz technique.

Ht Bumble Bee—Anders Edenroth. Vocal jazz choirs
will delight in this musical depiction of bumble bees
in flight! With text of "don no don don no don no
don" sung in varied rhythmic patterns, the choir
sounds like a hive of bees while the higher voices
represent a single bee melodically visiting flowers
in a sunny meadow. As recorded by the famous
Swedish vocal quintet The Real Group, it is a truly
amazing sound experience! Highly recommended!

Caravan—Duke Ellington, Irving Mills & Juan
Tizol/arr. Paris Rutherford. A Duke Ellington Latin
jazz classic in this Afro-Cuban setting, this song
is an energetic selection that will make your
choir and audience want to move their feet! Fun
and rewarding for your group to perform, there
are multiple solo opportunities with notated scat
solos and improvised lines. You'll want to use the

dynamic piece. Exciting!

Centerpiece—arr. Roger Emerson. "I'm building
all my dreams around you, my happiness will never
cease. But nothing's any good without you; 'cause,
baby, you're my centerpiece." This vocal jazz
classic from the iconic group Lambert, Hendricks &
Ross offers developing mixed and treble ensembles
a chance to build performance technique and
musicality. Lots of unison or trade-off phrases over
a walking bass line and an easy scat section make
it easy and fun to learn.

t Chili con Carne—Anders Edenroth. You have
to hear this to believe it! As performed by the
sensational Swedish vocal group The Real Group,
this is a cappella vocal jazz with clever lyrics and
delightful syncopations that are much easier to
feel than they look on paper. It will be well worth
the time you put into it, as many satisfied vocal
ensembles have already found out!

4L Dream—Johnny Mercer/arr. Russell Robinson. This
t well-crafted arrangement is true to Johnny Mercer's
original idea while still being fresh and new. A rubato
section in straight eighths opens this rich a cappella
setting before breaking into a moderate swing tempo
with finger snaps. An optional solo, tight harmonies,
and an upbeat message combine for a really nice
concert moment. Sweet!

you've ever heard. The choral parts are fun to sing
with scoops, slides, and accents notated clearly. For

Ellington's composition C Jam Blues, this is a
classic, swinging chart arranged for developing
choirs. The "riff" style is explained, and example
riffs are notated in the performance notes. Singers

l The Girl From Ipanema (Garota de Ipanema)
—arr. Paris Rutherford. This gentle Brazilian Bossa
Nova is one of the most performed songs of all
time, and this new arrangement is a wonderful
introduction to composer Antonio Carlos Jobim
and his signature style. The vocal lines are
quickly learned and are not too dense, while the
instrumental parts are excellently scored to set up
the Latin rhythm perfectly.

known 1965 movie "Harlow." Set in a bluesy swing

4L Hit Me With a Hot Note (And Watch Me
Bounce)—Duke Ellington & Don George/arr.
Mark Hayes. This Duke Ellington number was
featured in "Sophisticated Ladies," the musical
revue celebrating the life and music of the great
bandleader. A slinky bass sets up the intro just
before this swingin' setting grows into full-blown
jazz. Sassy vocals and accessible jazz harmonies
are accompanied by syncopated horn licks
and a tight rhythm section when you use the
instrumental parts or sound track.

lt I Am Alive—Greg Jasperse. This is like one big
jazz scat based around the title line. The three
words are used to embrace the joy of music
making and the joyful affirmation of life. Similar to
Jasperse's Voice Dance, open vowels and syllables
are used to create the a cappella jazz setting with
tight harmonies, syncopated rhythms and lots of fun
for more advanced groups.

t
In My Life—Lennon & McCartney/arr. Steve
Zegree. A superb a cappella setting of the Beatles
favorite, this will be a fine showcase for pop, jazz
and concert groups.

t It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That
Swing)—Irving Mills & Duke Ellington/arr. Anders
Edenroth. This challenging a cappella arrangement
captures all the energy and pizzazz of Duke
Ellington's original. It opens with the seldom-heard
verse, in rubato tempo; then the bright swing tempo
kicks in and it's an exciting ride to the end. There's
not a dull moment!
10513259 SATBB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.85
It Had to Be You—arr. Greg Gilpin. A charming
swing-infused standard, first published in 1924,
that has been recorded by a wide variety of hit-
makers including Ray Charles, Tony Bennett,
Michael Buble and Carrie Underwood. Perfect for
school concert choirs as well as show choirs and
community choirs, these quickly learned choral
parts feature plenty of unison and two-part singing
with the melody shared between the voice parts,
along with short solo opportunities that make this
an easy vocal jazz feature to learn and perform.
Highly recommended!

Jazz Alleluia—Craig Curry. From quiet to
soaring, this original choir piece is lyrically simple,
yet profound in the exploration of the many
"moods" of praising with a single word. The word
"Alleluia" or "Hallelujah" (from Hebrew) literally
means "Praise ye Yah" or "Praise Jah, you
people." By paying close attention to phrasing,
dynamics and tempo coloring, the piece will
come alive all the more in its presentation.
