The Lady Is a Tramp

This chart is a transcription of the Billy Byers chart as performed by Frank Sinatra backed by the Woody Herman band at Madison Square Garden in 1974. The opening is thunderously brassy and establishes a great contrast to the quiet start of the vocal. The first vocal chorus is backed mainly by saxes and trombone licks, but builds in intensity to the half-step modulation. From there the arrangement powers its way to the finish line and swings like crazy all the way. The vocal keys are B-flat and B. This is timeless and classic Sinatra!
