Lush Life Music

Composer: Frank Loesser
Arranger: Alan Glasscock
As Recorded by Margaret Whiting and Johnny Mercer
Format: Jazz Big Band Arrangement with Vocal Duet
Style: Swing - Easy

This is the great Johnny Mercer & Margaret Whiting version of the classic vocal duet. He wants her to stay, she wants to play hard to get. The chart itself relies on the interplay and chemistry between your two vocalists. The band backings are easy and add just the right amount of punch when needed. In this arrangement the Saxes are all written to play Clarinets, but recognising that not all sax players double Clarinets, all of the sax parts are double-sided, so that one side is as written and the reverse side is scored for a regular sax section. This way you will have more flexibility. The brass ranges are moderate and the chart is very playable and makes a great vocal feature.

Trumpets 1-4 C6, G5, F5, F5
