This five-song volume includes songs your jazz ensemble will love to sing! Each of these songs is a classic on its own, and in the hands of master a cappella arranger Deke Sharon they become true vocal jazz classics. 'Always' is 4-part SATB, with the melody passing among the parts. 'Blue Skies' is Sop/Mezzo/Alto/Tenor/Bass, with the Alto written as 'optional' (in case you need to sing it with just four parts) and includes a scat break. 'Oh What A Beautiful Morning' is scored for SATB with a baritone solo - a very cool jazz waltz! Everyone gets a turn in 'Route 66,' both with the melody and little scat opportunities. Finally, 'What'll I Do' is a gorgeous 4-part rubato ballad spiced with plaintive triplets echoing the refrain in thebackground. A real winner! |
