(Level III) A very happy version inspired by Sinatra's famous recording. The bass leads in with everyone on words right off the bat. There are fun syncopations and falls in the chorus with a half-step modulation and no pivot chord (a sort of key 'slam'). Saturday Night is the Loneliest Night of the Week quoted in the tag. This is a very fun arrangement. TTBB A Cappella

(Level III) A snappy, toe-tapping rendition. It starts right in on the chorus and cruises along to a big ending. Straight-ahead, very fun to sing, and makes a great show opener. TTBB A Cappella

Another beautiful Johnny Mercer melody arranged in a very singable a cappella setting. A short solo with choir backgrounds sets up a beautiful and sensitive ending. SATB a cappella.

(Level 5) This tune features alto solo with choir back up. Choir parts are not too difficult but give the effect of jazz band shouts. There is also a section for solos (piano or voice) immediately followed by the ensemble singing a chorus of How High the Moon and then back into solo and ensemble back up. SSATBB with rhythm section.

Sung either soli or solo, the front section really sets up this chart for success. A written-out bass solo leads into an a cappella SSAA quartet feature that is a real gas! Back to the bridge, on through a key change to the classic Basie "Splanky" ending. Suitable for contest or concert. SSAA with written out parts for piano and bass and drums.

(Level 3) An SATB ballad with rhythm section inspired by the Ray Brown Trio from their Three Dimensional CD. There are opportunities for your drummer to show off his/her brush work and for the pianist to dig into the keys. There is a written out piano intro and chord changes thereafter for the rhythm section.

(Level III) Really up-tempo version of this Cole Porter classic with lots of room for the top voice soprano to solo. Open spot for an instrumental solo. Mostly group backgrounds for the female solo, except all singers are in full for the ending. SATBB w/ Rhythm

(Level 4) This 50's classic features all the things that have made Kirby Shaw a leader in vocal jazz education--fresh melodic/rhythmic treatment, varied choral textures, a hip, written-out solo vocalese, stylistically authentic scat syllables, a hot shout chorus and written-out rhythm section parts that work! Commissioned by Fairview High School Excalibur, Boulder, Colorado, this is a great opener for concerts and festivals! S(S)ATB with rhythm section.

(Level 4) This arrangement is a rendition of the version made famous by Bobby Darin. The big band backgrounds to the soli line help to make this a swingin' chart. It has an optional Jaws and/or Duke Ellington intro. Each verse of the chart changes key ascending by semi-tones increasing with intensity into heavy swing. The last three verses feature vocal solos with high energy backgrounds. This chart is a proven winner and is guaranteed to be a great closer to any program. A real crowd pleaser.
