Frank Sinatra and Count Basie combined brilliantly on their 1962 album "Sinatra-Basie", of which this chart was the title track, arranged by Neal Hefti. From Basie's opening intro right to the last note this chart was and still is a classic. It has been transcribed here for you by Jon Harpin, and adapted from the original 5 Trumpet 3 Trombone studio line-up, to a more regular 4 4 section, with the Bass Trombone on 3rd and an optional 4th Trombone part. The vocal key is Ab and there are no Sax doubles.
