Level: 2 (Medium Easy)

Here's a super swing chart for the younger player from arranger John Denton. From the MGM movie of the same name, this melody is well known to all ages. John has included a tenor solo with written solo provided and carefully kept the brass ranges and tempo quite reasonable keeping this chart accessible to this level. You'll really like the simple but clever harmonic twist and modulation that John included, and the swing figures are all logical and easy to teach.
