Jazz Ensemble with Vocal Solo
4 I've Got You Under My Skin (from Live at the
Sands)Cole Porter/arr. Quincy Jones. Now for
the first time in print, this publication is based on
Nelson Riddle's original set of parts used by Frank
Sinatra for the 1956 session with Quincy Jones'
modifications for the Live at the the Sands album.
This arrangement follows Riddle's very closely,
but there are no saxophone doubles, and Jones'
adaptation places the original string parts in the
saxophone section. Also included is the big full
ensemble section with the famous trombone solo
before returning to the chorus. No chart says
"Sinatra" like this one! Highly recommended!

n Night and DayCole Porter/arr. Nelson Riddle.
This chart by Nelson Riddle comes from Frank
Sinatra's A Swingin' Affair album released in
1957. An absolute standout arrangement, it's
forceful, brassy and joyous as Sinatra leads an
exceptional orchestra playing another of Riddle's
masterpieces. The chart begins with a punchy,
brass-led sequence that will immediately grab the
listeners. The vocalist enters with just baritone sax
and rhythm section featuring a riff borrowed from
the earlier recording of I've Got You Under My Skin.
All saxes then go to clarinets (alternate parts are
included avoiding the doubles) while trumpets go to
harmon mutes. The string parts have been scored
into the clarinets and saxes, and there is a cameo
trombone solo in the middle of the arrangement
that has been fully written out. The vocal key begins
in D and modulates to E-flat.

4 No Moon at Allarr. Scott Ragsdale. While
this arrangement is written to feature a vocalist,
it also has great instrumental appeal. The style
is Latin/mambo groove, the tempo is about 136
bpm, the ensemble accompaniment is creative
and interesting, it's accessible for both band and
vocalist, and there are no instrumental solos.
Optional solo parts for C, B-flat, E-flat Instruments
and Trombone are included as substitute parts for
the vocal solo. A great vocal and big band chart!
Vocal in C Major.

n Our Love Is Here to StayGeorge Gershwin/
arr. Nelson Riddle. From the Frank Sinatra 1956
record Songs for Swingin' Lovers, this Nelson
Riddle arrangement is a masterpiece in big band
writing. It begins with a short piano intro (written, or
the pianist can improvise something comparable).
The vocalist enters at measure 5 with the brass in
cup mutes. The string parts have been scored into
the band, mostly in the sax section. The ranges are
modest and the chart features some nice harmon
muted trumpet solos as backing for the vocal.
These solos have been fully written out for trumpet
2, or can be improvised using the included chord
changes. Vocal in D.
