Producer John Hammond specifically asked me for this arrangement because he believed, and rightfully so,
that Bill’s appeal to the general public would be American popular song ballad features highlighting his
phenominal dynamic range. I’m sure he had Nat “King” Cole’s hit in mind and the chart pretty much wrote itself.
This is the original arrangement from the original score with all of the flute parts included which were cut,
for whatever reason, from the final mix. Bucket muted trumpets can be substituted for Flugels and
I’ve added a hard ending instead of a board fade for performance purposes.
The original recording version can be replicated by simply taciting the flutes where necessary
or if you’re ambitious, transpose the flutes for saxes and/or clarinets.
