The Nearness of You
Although the first hit recording of this enduring standard was by the Glenn Miller Orchestra in 1940, Hoagy Carmichael's The Nearness of You has remained popular through the ages with recordings by countless performers. Set here as a solo feature for flugelhorn or trumpet, the soft Latin/ballad style and lush accompaniment parts help make this one particularly attractive. The solo is completely written, and the soloist can improvise around the melody if desired. Here is an ideal way to feature an emerging soloist!
