The Man I Love
Using a sensuously slow Basie style, Mark has crafted a distinctive setting of this Gershwin standard that features the entire ensemble. Lush brass scoring on the “A” theme is contrasted with the saxes on the bridge, followed by a solo for trumpet and ending with a stunning ensemble shout chorus.SKU: HL07013694 -

They Can’t Take That Away from Me
A Gershwin classic for solo vocalist arranged by Dave Wolpe, this chart is written in two keys, B-flat and E-flat, to allow flexibility. The parts are reversible—just flip the page. Wolpe knows how to make your vocalist sound fantastic and how to keep the band happy with some wonderful Sinatra-style ensemble writing. Vocal range low key (B-flat): B-flat below middle C to third line B-flat, high key (E-flat): first line E-flat to fourth space E-flat. A winner. (3:04)SKU: ALJEVM05002
