You’ll like the way the band backs the singers and even gets a chance to blow on its own. Don’t overlook this one!

Satin Doll
Looking for an easy to play vocal piece? Here is an excellent vocal chart on a well known standard that is arranged at a much easier level by Terry White, with no individual solos, lots of full ensemble, a shout chorus and a modulation. And it’s all very easy to rehearse and perform! The vocal range is from F, first space to fourth line D, treble clef. Scored for 5 saxes, 6 brass and 4 rhythm, plus this arrangement will sound full with reduced instrumentation. With very accessible brass ranges and optional parts for flute, horn, tuba and baritone horn T.C., this is a classy chart all the way. (2:45)SKU: AL30620 -
