for our school talent show, i wanna do a jazz song. i have a trombone player, trumpet, piano and alto sax. i sing about a baritone range so are there any good songs we could do?!? please help! "In the Mood" is ALWAYS a crowd pleasure. The piano could do the fill-ins for the instrements you don't have. Down load the lyrics, and you are good to go.
Sorry, but there isn't very many printed music for such a small ensemble. Good luck. Ahhh you need a bass... I'm thinking that, ensemble-wise, you need to either find a bass to keep the whole thing together, or just be accompanied by the piano. the horns won't fit in well if you don't have a bass. For a baritone range, some songs I like are On the Street Where You Live, My Foolish Heart, Stardust, This Time the Dream's On Me, and I absolutely LOVE this song called On the Atchison, Topeka, and the Santa Fe. If you listen to Harry Connick Jr.'s record "25", he does it really well accompanied by the amazing Ray Brown on bass. Even if you don't do that song, I highly recommend that cd, for listening pleasure, if nothing else.
Good luck with your talent show. my favorite things |
