Excellent chart! Please, please do more Blossom Dearie homages: her "It Amazes Me," and "Doodlin" for example.

Blossom Dearie was one of the few singers to record this swinging, fun jazz tune, and this arrangement borrows the vibe and harmony of her performance while expanding and opening up the possibilities for the ensemble vocal jazz setting. A few sneaky quotes in the backgrounds and soli/shout sections provide some Easter eggs for your audience (and singers), and solo space is included for improvising singers or players.

PARLER A MON PÈRE - CÉLINE DION

Red Crew - Jump  Zumba Fitness  Mega Mix 57.mp3

Hard swinging chart written for intermediate-level vocal jazz ensembles who have more gals than guys. Bluesy harmony and some fun ensemble figures back up a soulful soloist. A surprising bossa nova scat solo section with backgrounds leads into a chilled out bridge before launching into more hard-swinging material for a shout section to the end.

Willow Weep For Me - SSAB Lv 3

Hoshyar Kasi Bayad (mix)

NEW FOR FALL 2012! - A deep cut from The Police's "Synchronicity," this tune grooves hard in 12/8 and features a tenor or alto who can hang with the Sting thing.  The lyric is a metaphor for political corruption...not actually about killing people directly.  You might want to mention that in your concert. :)

'

Silent Night, arr. Marsh

April in Paris, arr. Marsh

The 2012 hit from the band Fun is written with slight reharmonization here and there to beef up the complexity for the vocal jazz ensemble while retaining the feel and vibe of the original recording.  Challenging solo feature for a high tenor or female voice, but fairly straight-forward vocal parts with careful voice-leading.
