You'd Be So Nice to Come Home ToCole
Porter/arr. Althouse. Sung by such jazz artists
as Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra and Mel Torme,
this lightly swinging standard from the 1943 film
"Something to Shout About" is a little gem for vocal
jazz ensembles. With two brief opening solos, for a
girl and a boy, and eight tasty bars of ensemble scat
singing, it is very sweet! "You'd be so nice. You'd be
paradise to come home to and love."
