This arrangement of the Van Morrison classic will be a favorite of every group! The chart is a useful tool for developing swing feel with your group. There is a short solo toward the beginning as well as plenty of room for improvisation over basic 12-bar minor blues. The middle of the chart features a hard-swingin' vocal soli, after which the familiar chorus drives it home. SATB with rhythm section.
