Title: Begin The Beguine
Voicing/Format: Stage Band
Publisher: Sierra Music Publications
Composer: Porter, Cole
Arranger: Niehaus, Lennie
Catalog #: SMP566
Series: Stan Kenton

Price: $57.00

As recorded by the Stan Kenton Orchestra on Adventures In Standards, this is a medium-swing chart on a great tune. Lennie uses a neat vamp in the trombones to offset the melody in the saxes. The full ensemble then kicks off a trombone solo. The full band plays a great "shout" chorus out to the end. There is an optional ending (the recorded as opposed to the original). Kenton and Niehaus at their best! 5-5-5-3 (can be played with 8 brass)

This promotional recording is for listening purposes only.
