Description:
This version of Why Don't You Do Right was recorded in 1942 by Peggy Lee during her stay with the Benny Goodman band and Peggy made this song her own. We have faithfully transcribed Goodman's chart, including all of the Clarinet licks and solos, but have expanded the brass from the original 6 up to 8. The sax parts are written for Solo Clarinet, Alto, 2 Tenors & Baritone though we have included an extra Alto sax part (the Tenor 1 part, written for Alto) to give you a bit more flexibility in the section. The brass ranges are very moderate, and aside from the Clarinet solos there are no surprises, so the chart is very playable.
