Bei mir bist du Schön

Description

The Benny Goodman Orchestra performed a similar version of this chart at the Carnegie Hall concert, with Martha Tilton the featured vocalist. This is an easy but effective arrangement, opening after a short intro, with the band taking the first chorus (a sax soli middle 8) into a key change for the vocal chorus. The pick-up is a wailing clarinet (or Soprano) solo, with the vocal coming back before a tutti last shout. A great swing vehicle for your vocalist. The vocal key is E minor then A minor. Lead Alto doubles Clarinet. The complete mp3 is taken from a live gig by The Strayhorns big band, with Nou Nou on vocal.
