Description:

  • Term: 00:02:50
  • Rubric: Original Arrangements
  • Genre: Swing
This song was written by Mel Powell when he was pianist with the Goodman orchestra, and it was a hit in 1942. Glenn Miller, whilst in charge of the US Army Air Force Training Command Band, used it as a vehicle for showing the Clarinet skills of Peanuts Hucko. It also fitted well into a series of numbers that were 'patriotic' and supported the war effort. Tunes such as Keep Em' Flying, Tail End Charlie and Jeep Jockey Jump. This is a great punchy swing chart, and you will need a good Clarinet player to do it justice. The reeds are scored for Solo Clarinet, 2 Altos and 2 Tenors. We have also included an optional Baritone part. The Clarinet part is an exact transcription of the lines played by Peanuts Hucko.
