More about this title
About the Artist: Mack Gordon
Mack Gordon was a lyricist and composer who shaped the sound of American popular music across several decades. His work appeared in major films and Broadway productions, crafting memorable melodies and witty lyrics that became standards. Gordon's compositions have endured in jazz repertoire, offering arrangers rich material with strong harmonic content and memorable hooks.
Why we love this
Rick Stitzel's arrangement respects the melody while building genuine jazz texture around it. The trumpet and baritone sax duet opener gives your ensemble an immediate focal point, and the transition into full shout chorus feels earned rather than tacked on. You get a Grade 4 piece that sounds more sophisticated than its difficulty level suggests.
What to expect
Warm and conversational. The duet opening feels like two musicians trading phrases over the rhythm section, inviting listeners into an intimate moment before the full ensemble joins. The swing feel sits comfortably in the pocket without demanding breakneck tempo, letting students hear and feel the groove.
Who it's for
Directors with small jazz ensembles (7 to 10 players) who want a dependable standard arrangement that develops swing feel without requiring soloists. This works for ensembles at the intermediate level or higher who are building their jazz book with accessible but musically substantial repertoire.
How to get the most out of it
- Balance the opening duet so both voices cut clearly without one overpowering the other. The baritone sax needs enough presence to anchor the harmonic movement.
- Work the rhythm section separately to lock the swing feel before adding horns. A relaxed medium swing rhythm is harder to fake than fast swing.
- Shape the solo section dynamics so the shout chorus hits with real impact. Let the ensemble settle slightly before the tutti entrance.
- Pay attention to articulation consistency across the ensemble during the shout. Matched tonguing or breath attacks make the difference between tight and ragged.
How to use it
Pair this with other Stitzel arrangements or standards for a jazz concert segment that highlights small group interplay. It fits naturally into a spring concert that mixes up-tempo and medium-tempo pieces, or use it as an opener that draws the audience in before moving to feature soloists.
