Vocal Feature-Another outstanding jazz vocal with jazz ensemble! This chart is totally flexible--it's written in two keys! The higher key usually works for your male vocalist and the lower key for your female vocalist; if not just switch. It's that easy! In addition to the vocal solo this swinging Rogers and Hart song has a trombone jazz solo (or optional scat vocal solo) and written written ensemble horn lines for the vocalist both great opportunities to integrate your vocalist with the ensemble. Dave Wolpe thinks of everything and he writes some of the best charts in the music business. Very effective!
