Skyliner

At the peak of the big band era, saxophonist, composer and band leader Charlie Barnet recorded his famous version of Cherokee followed shortly by this second big hit. Treated here in a samba style, Skyliner features the saxes playing the smooth melody accompanied by a unison brass counterline. There is solo space for tenor sax and trumpet, followed by a sax soli and shout chorus for the full ensemble. Suggested solos and chord/scale sheets in all keys are included.
