More about this title

About the Artist: Michael Buble

Michael Bublé emerged as one of the defining vocalists of the 21st century, bringing swing and jazz standards into the mainstream pop consciousness. His interpretations of classic material, combined with his gift for contemporary arrangements, have made him a natural bridge between traditional jazz idioms and modern listening sensibilities.

For music educators, Bublé's catalog represents an accessible entry point into standard jazz phrasing and interpretive singing. His recorded versions provide students with clear models for legit tone production, lyrical storytelling, and the kind of rhythmic flexibility that distinguishes mature musicianship.

Why we love this

Debbie Warren's arrangement captures the languid charm of this Latin jazz standard while keeping the vocal lines singable and engaging for SAB ensembles. The three-part writing preserves harmonic sophistication without overcomplicating logistics, making it ideal for groups with developing sight readers who still deserve material with genuine musical substance.

What to expect

Smooth, swaying, and confident. The arrangement evokes intimate nightclub acoustics while maintaining enough textural variety to keep singers engaged through multiple verses. There's an unhurried warmth here, with just enough harmonic color to feel grown-up and contemporary.

Who it's for

SAB choirs seeking popular music repertoire with real harmonic interest and jazzy sophistication. Groups comfortable with some rhythmic independence and swing interpretation will find this arrangement rewarding for both singers and audiences.

How to get the most out of it

  • Treat the rhythm section with flexibility. This arrangement thrives on the push and pull of swing phrasing, so communicate with your accompanists about where the ensemble breathes and where it leans ahead of the beat.
  • Balance the Altos and Baritones carefully during the harmonic foundation sections. Their interweaving lines carry the arrangement's lushness, but they can easily swallow the Soprano melody if given equal dynamic weight.
  • Let the story of the text guide your phrasing. Mark breath points as much for musical sense as for vocal necessity, allowing the group to shape longer phrases with intention rather than simply connecting notes mechanically.

How to use it

Pair this with other Latin or swing standards for a focused pop jazz set, or use it as a sophisticated opening number that establishes warmth and stylistic range early in a concert. The accessibility of the tune makes it an excellent choice for spring programming when audiences expect more relaxed, feel-good material.

Skills your students will build

  • Swing phrasing and rhythmic flexibility within a 4/4 framework
  • Blending three distinct harmonic layers without sacrificing melodic clarity
  • Jazz interpretation and the coordination of legit tone with rhythmic ease
  • Latin jazz rhythmic vocabulary and cross-cultural musical expression
