In a Mellow Tone

£37.95

Long Tall Mama is a solid swing chart written for the Glenn Miller band by Billy May , though credited to his wife Arletta for fiscal reasons at the time. Miller recorded this with his civilian and USAAF bands, and there were subtle differences between the two. This is the later version, and features solo spots for Alto, Clarinet (on the Alto 2 part), Tenor and Trumpet. We have written out all of the solos, though your players can improvise on the chords if they prefer. This chart would make a fine addition to your Miller collection, and is not that tricky to play. Alto 2 doubles Clarinet.
