Description:
Copyrighted in 1915, this popular tune was subsequently recorded by Louis Armstrong, Bing Crosby, Cab Calloway, and was a huge hit for Louis Prima in 1956. This laid back 2014 arrangement switches between its early 2 beat feel and straight ahead 4/4 swing. Trombones are featured at the start with wah wah plunger effects, and both trumpets and saxes have their cameos later on. The chart concludes with a big full ensemble shout chorus with late 20th century harmonies. Solo chorus (with backgrounds) for tenor sax. Lead trumpet to a brief written C above the staff. 5/4/4/g/p/b/d. Medium.
