Sinatra  Up a Level         

This is Frank Sinatra at his best. This chart is a transcription of Sinatra with the Count Basie Band, taken from Sinatra at the Sands. It features the original band into - big, punchy and nearly a minute long - giving you time for a big introduction to your vocalist. The chart is also marked with an optional start point, just before the vocal, should you wish to shorten things. A couple of muted trumpet fills have been removed here and there, to keep things cleaner. There are some sax doubles. Altos go to Clarinets and Tenors to Flutes. These doubles add colour to the voicings though are not vital to the chart. So if your Tenor players are fluteless don't worry too much. The vocal is in Bb, with a range from Bb to D (one octave and 3 tones) and has been written out to give your vocalist a good feel of Sinatra's phrasing. All in all this chart is exceptional.

Transcribed by Jon Harpin from the original Quincy Jones arrangement featured on the Sinatra at the Sands album, Fly Me to the Moon is a classic Frank Sinatra chart, and a 'must have' for any band's repertoire. A short Piano & Bass solo has been added in the intro, to help your singer pitch the first note, and the Brass have ben augmented up to 8 voices. The solo Flute passages are written on Alto 2 and cued onto Alto 1 and Tenor 2 to give you some flexibility as to who takes the lines. The Trumpet 2 solo fills have been written in, and to add even more authenticity to the performance the vocal sheet is written 'as sung' by Sinatra. The lead Trumpet range is up to high D, with the option to scream to high F#. Aside from the Flute passages there are no other Sax doubles. Duration: 2:30 Grade: Easy/Medium

Taken down from Sinatra's 1962 Reprise recording, I Get a Kick Out of You has become a Sinatra classic and a much requested tune. The original arrangement was done by Neal Hefti (a familiar name to Count Basie fans) and his style is clearly apparent throughout the chart. Jon Harpin has produced a superb recreation of the original, and it swings from start to finish. Sinatra's vocal line is written out, for those of you who wish to emulate the master. The chart is technically not that difficult, but needs crispness and precision to make it come alive. The Trombones are scored for 3 Tenors and Bass, and there are no Sax doubles.

Beautifully transcribed by Jon Harpin from the Neal Hefti chart written for the Sinatra Basie album, I Only Have Eyes For You is pure crooning Sinatra, yet with enough in the chart for the band to shine alongside the vocalist. The arrangement is taken at an easy, laid-back tempo, and is full of rich tonal colour and shade which is the trademark of Hefti. The opening is scored for Flute doubles by the Altos, though the lines are also scored in the Tenors in case your Altos don't play Flutes. Sinatra's vocal is written as performed, and all the dynamics and articulations are written clearly so that your band can re-create an authentic performance. The vocal key is Bb throughout.

Under My Skin is classic Sinatra. Adapted from the original Nelson Riddle arrangement, this version is nevertheless true to the version made famous by Sinatra, and is a must for all male vocalists. Everything has been included, from the rumbling Baritone sax line, the big Trombone build after the first vocal chorus ('Run for cover, run and hide!'), the wailing Trombone solo and even the little Piano fills and tinkles. The Saxes have been re-scored to a regular AATTB section and the Clarinet & Bass Clarinet doubles from the original have been removed. All dynamics are clearly written, and the vocal chart replicates Sinatra's performance. Duration 3' 30' Grade: Medium

This chart is a transcription of the Billy Byers chart as performed by Frank Sinatra backed by Woody Herman at Madison Square Gardens in 1974. The opening is thunderingly brassy and establishes a great contrast to the quiet start of the vocal. The first vocal chorus is backed mainly by Saxes and Trombone licks, but builds in intensity to the half-step modulation. From here the arrangement powers its way to the finish line, and swings like crazy all the way. The vocal keys are Bb and B. This is timeless and classic Sinatra.

Here is Frank Sinatra's version of the Irving Berlin classic, Let's Face the Music and Dance. The original chart was arranged by Johnny Mandel, and Jon Harpin has done his usual excellent job in reproducing it for you to enjoy. The only difference is that the string lines in the original studio chart have been moved to the saxes in our chart. The vocal part is written 'as sung' by Sinatra, and the vocal key is Cm all the way. A great up-tempo swing vocal, and a fine addition to any library. Duration: 3:00 Grade: Medium/Advanced

Adapated from the original Billy May arrangement of Sinatra's Reprise recording, Luck Be A Lady kicks off with the slow, almost Colla Voce intro, which picks up into a thumping swing chart. Jon Harpin has done a remarkable job in transcribing this Sinatra classic. Everything is here - dynamics, articulations, phrasing, modulations, the works. Strings were used in the original recording, which have been re-scored into the band, to make the charge suitable for a 5,4,4,4 line-up. At 5 minutes 15 seconds this is a long chart and makes for a great vocal feature. Lead Alto doubles Clarinet. Duration 5' 15' Grade: Medium/Advanced

This Jimmy Van Heusen / Sammy Cahn tune was originally written for the Rat-Packesque film 'Robin and the Seven Hoods'. Wonderfully melodic and visually exciting in concert, it was Sinatra's theme tune for some 15 years, his show-stopper and frequent show-ender. This version is transcribed from Billy May's version from Sinatra at the Sands with the Basie Band. It's all here - the creamy opening verse with the lush brass voicings leading into the punchy swing of the main vocal, with the successive modulations from F to G to Ab and the powerhouse modal riffs to finish. Guaranteed to be a winner in any concert or gig. The lead Alto doubles Flute, but other than this there are no Sax doubles. Duration: 3:00 Grade: Medium/Advanced

One of Sinatra's most enduring hits, the theme from New York, New York is also one of his most memorable, and will be immediately familiar to all audiences from the moment that the band kicks off the signature opening. Transcribed beautifully by Jon Harpin from the original Don Costa chart, this arrangement has all the elements - the slick key change, the shifts in tempo and Sinatra's vocal line in full - making this chart an absolute must-have tune. The Vocal starts in D and moves to Eb. There are no sax doubles. Duration: 3:30 Grade: Medium/Advanced

Frank Sinatra and Count Basie combined brilliantly on their 1962 album 'Sinatra-Basie', of which this chart was the title track, arranged by Neal Hefti. From Basie's opening intro right to the last note this chart was and still is a classic. It has been transcribed here for you by Jon Harpin, and adapted from the original 5 Trumpet 3 Trombone studio line-up, to a more regular 4 4 section, with the Bass Trombone on 3rd and an optional 4th Trombone part. The vocal key is Ab and there are no Sax doubles. Duration: 3:30 Grade: Medium

Sinatra recorded this song a number of times during his career, but the most swinging version was the Billy May arrangement that John Ferguson has transcribed here. In typical May style, it is punchy, crisp and offers a great balance between the vocal passages and some fine ensemble work. Not too long, at a shade over 2 minutes, this is a memorable chart and a must for all Sinatra lovers. There are no sax doubles in this chart and the vocal key is C. Duration: 2:00+ Grade: Medium/Advanced

Transcribed from the original Neal Hefti chart written for Sinatra's sessions with the Count Basie orchestra, The Tender Trap is a fine example of powerful writing which supports Sinatra's crooning vocal at every turn. The band parts are not hard, and the lead Trumpet only goes to top C. The two little muted 2nd Trumpet fills have been written out 'as played', and the correct articulation and dynamics are given on all of the parts, so your band can give an authentic Basie performance. There are no sax doubles. Duration: 3:00 Grade: Easy/Medium

Another great tune from Frank Sinatra's Reprise days. The original version of this chart featured female backing vocals and a Leslie-style organ. This limits the playability of such an arrangement, so Jon Harpin has creatively transcribed and re-scored for a standard big band line-up. The B.V.'s are shared between a quartet of 2 Saxes, Trumpet & Trombone, and the opening Organ solo has also been scored into the Sax parts should your Pianist not have the appropriate bag of tricks to make a nice Organ noise. There are no Sax doubles and the brass ranges are moderate to low. This is graded as an Easy / Medium piece, but boy, it's a real crowd pleaser! Duration: 3:10 Grade: Easy/Medium

This version of You Make Me Feel So Young is the one performed by Frank Sinatra with the Count Basie Orchestra on the 'Sinatra at the Sands' album, later re-issued on the Reprise collection, and it is arguably one of Sinatra's finest numbers. The original Quincy Jones chart has been wonderfully transcribed and adapted (for 8 brass) by Jon Harpin, and includes the muted Trumpet solo written out, and all of the little licks and fills on the drum part which add so much punch. The vocal keys are G and Ab, and there are no sax doubles. Duration: 2:55 Grade: Medium/Advanced

Zing Went the Strings of My Heart was recorded by Frank Sinatra in December 1960 for the Ring-a-Ding album, but remained unreleased until 1990 when the master tapes of the original recording were rediscovered. This chart is a Sinatra gem, and even includes the rarely-heard opening verse. Beautifully transcribed and adapted by Jon Harpin from the original Johhny Mandel arrangement, to incorporate the strings back into a regular big band line-up, this chart is unique and deserves a place in everyones library. Lead Alto doubles Clarinet briefly. Duration: 2:50 Grade: Medium
