A solid introduction to jazz stylizations and beginning scat singing! From the swingin' echoed phrases of the catchy chorus to the tasty with extra foam ending, this creative chart is equal parts education and enjoyment. Extend the learning by taking Andy's suggestion for improvisation by trading bars just before a return to the top. Frothy fun for caffeine lovers of any age!

Jolly jing-a-ling-a's provide hip transitions and bright bookends in this jazzed-up version of the great Christmas standard. Kirby's arrangement fits the tune like a glove, and will last in your library year after year. Eight bars in the middle may be repeated as many times as desired, and opened up to include vocal and/or instrumental soloists, improvisation, scat singing, gradual stacking of written lines, etc. Just be sure to save a little something for the shout chorus that follows! SoundPax includes four horn parts, but easily adapts for rhythm section alone.

This setting of the fabulous standard is built in a gentle Count Basie style. Beginning with a “two” feel, it moves to a more “four” feel as the arrangement progresses while the singers use a rhythmic style which will place them gently on the back of the beat. Feature your best soloist with either their own improvisation or the notated solo in the score.

The ground breaking vocal jazz ensemble Lambert, Hendricks & Ross laid the groundwork for all the vocal jazz groups that have followed. Often using their voices like instruments and inventing “Vocalese”, they are examples of what can be accomplished with the voice. This arrangement swings hard and updates the harmonies making it a great bridge between what was and what is.

Flash! Bam! Alakazam! Vocal jazzers will love the fall-offs, slides, tight harmonies, and rapid fire triplets in Kirby's arrangement of this Great American Songbook standard. Two brief notated solos sound improvised over the hip changes at the turnaround. Recommended listening: study the style with the 1950 recording by Nat King Cole.
