Speak Low

Written in 1955, this Pete Rugolo arrangement was recorded and released on The Four Freshmen and 5 Trombones album of the same year. This was a commercially successful album and remained on the pop charts for over eight months. The arrangement, while essentially designed to support the vocal quartet, has plenty of meat for the trombone section. Moving between Latin and swing feels, the chart features creative counterpoint between the trombones and rich harmonic movement for the vocal quartet. This publication was based on the original Pete Rugolo score - this is not a transcription.
