Ain’t Misbehavin’
Here’s a nice easy-goin’ swing chart on a great jazz classic composed by Fats Waller. Arranger Ralph Ford, one of our specialists in writing for young bands, does it once again. Solos are for piano and tenor sax (both written out), the brass ranges are modest, and this arrangement is loaded with natural swing licks. A super chart!SKU: ALJEM01061 -
