I Won't Dance

Here's the classic Neal Hefti big band arrangement from the 1962 Frank Sinatra and Count Basie collaboration Sinatra-Basie. This is vintage Neal Hefti: mellow, but swinging lines and enough space to afford the vocalist some freedom of interpretation. This chart really "breathes" well. The arrangement calls for alto 1 to double flute (Frank Wess was the flutist on the record). An alternate alto 1 part is included avoiding the flute double. Also featured are a couple of short tenor sax solos which have been written out. Vocal in C, modulating to D-flat.
