Lush Life Music Careless Love - Collins - Jazz Ensemble - Gr. Medium/Advanced

Transcribed: Myles Collins
Format: Score and Parts
Instrumentation: Jazz Ensemble
Style: Swing - Medium

This version of Careless Love was recorded in 1959 by members of the Benny Goodman Orchestra. The chart is very much in the Goodman style and features solo spots by clarinet (on alto 1), tenor and piano. The clarinet and tenor solos are written out in full, though your players can improvise from the chords if preferred. The piano solo is ad-lib, but the final 2 measure modulation phrase which leads into the final shout chorus has been written out. Although not a hard chart to play, the brass gets quite high in the shout chorus, with lead trumpet to Eb6 and lead trombone to Bb4. The reeds are scored AATTB with alto 1 taking the clarinet solo lines. Swing @ 160 b.p.m.

Ranges:
Trumpets 1-4: Eb6, C6, Bb5, G5
Trombones 1-4: Bb4, Ab4, F4, Db4
