Description:
This tune has been performed by many artists over the years, and is a 'must-have' standard in any repertoire. This particular version was done by Julie London and it oozes class. The vocal is sultry, moody, and tells a story of woe. The vocalist is backed sympathetically by the band, and the overall mood is helped by a sleazy Alto solo that winds in and out during the chart. The Trombones are scored for 3 Tenors and a Bass, and the Bass bone is vital to the arrangement. There are no sax doubles, the brass ranges are very moderate and the vocal key is A.
