4 Since I Fell For YouBuddy Johnson/arr. Jay
Althouse. This beautiful blues ballad appeared on
the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1963, a bit surprising
since it was written in 1945! Tight choral harmony
and a subtle accompaniment make this sad tale
come alive. "You took my love and now you're gone."

4 Sing, Sing, SingLouis Prima/arr. Mark Brymer.
Here is one of the most famous tunes from the
big band era in a contemporary vocal jazz/show
choir setting. This is an extraordinary feature,
especially when you use the hot horns-and-
rhythm backup on the recorded accompaniment
track! Highly recommended!

lt Someone to Watch Over MeGeorge
Gershwin & Ira Gershwin/arr. Jamey Ray.
Originally written as an up-tempo number for the
musical "Oh, Kay!," Ira convinced George that
it was better as a ballad. The lush, challenging
harmonies in this arrangement prove that Ira was
right! Recording from the album Two-Way Street
by Emily Drennan.

n Sway (Quien Sera?)arr. Kirby Shaw. "When
marimba rhythms start to play, dance with
me, make me sway. Like the lazy ocean hugs
the shore, hold me close, sway me more..."
One of the most recognizable of all Latin
standards, recently covered by Michael Buble,
this sings beautifully in Kirby Shaw's tasteful
setting. Brimming with style and sophistication,
this will add a real touch of class to your program!
Highly recommended!

First heard in 1925, this jazz standard still swings.
It's a blast for serious vocal jazz groups, well worth
the effort!

won't want it to end!

n Take Fivearr. Kirby Shaw. One of the true icons of
jazz, Dave Brubeck, made this Paul Desmond tune a
household name. Brubeck wrote his own text to this
angular tune that Kirby Shaw has translated into a
stellar vocal jazz feature. The smooth 5/4 meter is
made even sweeter with Kirby's own vocal layering
and harmonic twists. Brubeck-Desmond-Kirby Shaw;
it just doesn't get any better than this for vocal jazz,
and we give it our highest recommendation!

t
Tenderlyarr. Steve Zegree. Surround your
audience in a tapestry of sound with this a cappella
ballad setting of the great American standard from
1946. The jazz vocals are relatively easy, but offer
plenty of opportunities to develop blend, style and
intonation. This is a wonderful competition or encore
piece for a vocal jazz ensemble or concert choir!

l
A Tisket, a Tasketarr. Roger Emerson. Was
it red? No no no. Was it brown? No no no. The
famous Ella Fitzgerald rendition of a classic nursery
song is a sassy, jazzy twist on the familiar lyrics.
A great choice for developing jazz style in your
younger choirs!

n Tuxedo Junctionarr. Kirby Shaw. This tune
was a big hit for Glenn Miller, and recently for The
Manhattan Transfer. Kirby Shaw's arrangement is
not difficult, with just the right amount of written-out
scat singing. There's a chorus of, "boo-bop-boop-
bop..." with solo lead on top, then with the full choir
singing one time through in full jazz harmony. The
instrumental chart adds punch!

n Tuxedo Junctionarr. Mac Huff. From Glenn
Miller to The Manhattan Transfer, this jazz classic
is always a pleasure to sing and hear. So simple
and so hip, this arrangement has everything your
students need for a positive learning experience:
a laid-back swing feel, a bluesy melody, an easy
ensemble scat chorus, and, of course, the cool
lyrics. "Way down South, in Birmingham, I mean
South, in Alabam's an old place where people go
to dance the night away..." Your young singers will
really groove to this!

t Voice DanceGreg Jasperse. This is amazing!
A wordless vocal dance, celebrating the human
voice and the joy of singing together - this
goes beyond vocal jazz into the realm of sound
painting. Unlike most vocal jazz, the syllables
used are virtually all open vowel sounds, such as
Ba va da do way and Da dee ya dan do way. For
choirs at the medium-advanced level, this creates
a compelling vocal texture such as you've never
heard! Highly recommended!

t Walk a MilePepper Choplin & Mark Hayes. "Walk
a mile in your neighbor's shoes. You'll understand
them better if you do." That's the story behind this
jazzy a cappella waltz by Pepper Choplin and Mark
Hayes. Bluesy with a laid back feel, this swinger is
filled with surprising musical twists and turns. It's
rhythmically clever, melodically and harmonically
groovin' and features a timely text that will
resonate with young singers. It includes fun-to-sing
counterlines, unexpected snaps and claps, some
divisi, and even a classy "doo-vah-doo" riff. This will
be the piece in your next concert - hands down!

n Where or WhenRichard Rodgers & Lorenz
Hart/arr. Steve Zegree. From the Rodgers and Hart
musical "Babes in Arms," this great tune has been
a hit for many singers, including Frank Sinatra.
Set here at a medium tempo, with some tasteful
rhythmic twists and sumptuous jazz harmonies, it's
top-notch material for concert choirs and vocal jazz
ensembles! Highly recommended!

n A Wink and a Smilearr. Steve Zegree.
Recorded by Harry Connick, Jr. and featured in the
film "Sleepless in Seattle," this song is very cute for
young voices, with "friendship" lyrics that everyone
can relate to. "...when I saw you, I knew we'd go
together like a wink and a smile." Perfect for vocal
jazz beginners, Steve Zegree's arrangement has an
easy swing feel and some friendly "do ba do ba do
bah" phrases before a final spoken, "Yeah!"

4t With a Song in My HeartRichard Rodgers
& Lorenz Hart/arr. Kirby Shaw. Rodgers & Hart's
romantic ballad from the 1929 show "Spring Is
Here" will produce warm smiles all around as
you luxuriate in the lush harmonies of this superb
a cappella arrangement. "At the sound of your
voice, heaven opens its portals to me. Can I help
but rejoice that a song such as yours came to be?"

l
With Every Breath I TakeCy Coleman/arr. Paris
Rutherford. This haunting ballad from the musical
"City of Angels" opens with solo piano, setting the
emotional tone for the arrangement. Through rich
harmonization and expressive lyrics, the listener is
drawn into a dreamlike state, remembering love
lost, and then finally love returned. A stunning
selection for vocal jazz groups!

develop artistry in each individual
through exercises that build styles
such as Swing, Latin and Rock,
using solfege and scat syllables
as well as tone and blend in ballad
style. Each exercise includes a
notated keyboard accompaniment,
with multiple modulations, and a
professional recording of singers
with a rhythm section.
