As recorded by Stan
Kenton & His Orchestra on the “7.5 On The Richter Scale” album, this all time great standard receives a fresh
sound with the impeccable scoring talent of Marty Paich. This arrangement has it all…….a solo piano
introduction, a variety of feels (ballad, rubato, swing, 12/8), and stunning
ensemble passages. This chart is
considered by many to be one of the finest big band arrangements ever written,
and Sierra Music is proud to be able to make it available to you. (5-5-5-4)
