Jazz Lines is proud to present the big band arrangement of one of the most famous Sinatra recordings 'I Get a Kick Out of You,' arranged by Neal Hefti. This arrangement was featured on the 1962 Reprise album 'Sinatra and Swingin' Brass.' This is not a particularly difficult arrangement though trumpet 1 does get pretty high to E6 and trombone 1 goes to B4. The real trick to this arrangement is getting the band to be as tight as possible, especially where there are accented band hits. The fourth trombone is written for bass. The arrangement features a 16-measure alto saxophone solo. Chord changes have been included for your alto player to improvise. There are no saxophone doubles.

Ranges:

• Trumpet 1: to E6
• Trombone 1: to B4
• Vocal Key: D flat modulating to D
