Hello, by Jennifer Barnes
(Level 4) This funky up-tempo female feature was originally performed by Dianne Reeves with close harmony background vocals by Take 6. The highly pop-stylized lead vocal part can either be sung by female soloist or soloists. SSATBB with electric bass, drums and keyboards (for both "DX7" and horn sounds.
Three Blind Mice, by Kerry Marsh
Written for Irving McArthur High School, an unlikely vocal jazz tune works really well as a half-comical/half-serious jazz arrangement in a up-tempo swing feel. Some hades (and one total quote) of Darmon Meader's chart on Oh, Lady Be Good for New York Voices and some new lyric that play with the original idea. A cool bass line is reminiscent of Wes Montgomery's Four on Six. A soli section, a drum solo, a combination of wordless vocal and new lyric...all make this chart unique, interesting and a blast to sing! SATB with rhythm section.
Tyler Gilmore composes chamber music ranging from jazz to modern classical. He leads Ninth+Lincoln, an orchestra that fuses big band sounds, 20th century symphonic influences and electronic textures.
