(Key: E flat) Arranger Dave Wolpe delivers a classic swing vocal chart in the Sinatra style. Arranged in two keys for flexibility, this one features a trombone solo in the shout chorus. High key is E-flat (range is B-flat below middle C to top line F), low key is B-flat (range is F below middle C to third line B-flat). Superb arranging. dURATION: 3:33

(Key: G flat) Dave Wolpe's superb chart for vocalist and jazz ensemble is arranged in two keys for flexibility: low key of C and high key is F—just flip the page for the preferred key!

Low key vocal range is G-flat below middle C to second space A. High key range is B below middle to fourth line D treble clef. Another outstanding Wolpe chart! Duration: 2:38
