Gershwin/arr. Dave Wolpe. Here's the Gershwin
classic for solo vocalist arranged by Dave Wolpe!
Arranged in two keys for vocal flexibility (just flip
the page for the desired key), this chart features
a nice, relaxed swing feel, just like the original!
There's a great middle section that will also shine

space Eb. A winner! Highly recommended! (Vocal in
