Description:
Here is Jon Harpin's transcription of the Shorty Rogers chart written for June Christy's 1962 'Big Band Specials' album. This is an unusual arrangement which switches between a Rock and Swing feel, and the rhythmic structure of many of the band backing lines give the chart a distinctive 1960's feel. The chart contains an Alto solo which may be played as-written or improvised from the chords provided. Also, there are a couple of modulations in the chart, just to keep things interesting. It opens in Bb, shifts to F for the instrumental section, remains in F for the vocal return and then modulates to C for the close. The Trumpet ranges are high (lead to high F#, 2nd to C# and 3rd to C) so this might be a chart to play earlier in the programme, rather than later. There are no sax doubles.
