Description

This big band chart features the Flugel (or trumpet 4) on Herbie Hancock's classic tune "Tell Me a Bedtime Story". This soft-spoken chart stays close to the original song with melody started by the Flugelhorn who is supposed by colourful textures in the brass and is energized by a double time vamp providing additional solo space for the flugelhorn and eventually building to the climax of the chart. This chart works well if you're looking to feature a strong soloist in your band or you're looking to break up your program with a relaxing straight 8th chart. This chart is easily adapted to feature any instrument.
