Vocal Jazz

Available for the first time on Sheet Music Plus! This chart was held up for licensing reasons for seven years before finally becoming available. Only occasionally taking a harmonic left turn from Pharrell Williams’ original smash hit composition, this arrangement will be a real joy for your ensemble members to perform. Some written-out clapping parts will make the performance even more fun and engaging, and the audience will surely have a bit of nostalgia for this big hit from the summer of 2013!
fully notated piano, bass and drums parts.
