Skylark

£37.95

This charming swing chart was scored by Sy Oliver for the Jimmie Lunceford band and later re-used by Oliver for his own outfit. Our transcription is taken from the latter. The instrumental chorus of the chart is in the key of D, featuring an ad-lib Trumpet solo, before modulating to F for a half chorus and bridge modulation to the vocal choruses in Ab. There are no sax doubles.
