Description
Howard Snell masterfully adapts this Gershwin classic into a sophisticated solo for the Eb Soprano Cornet. The arrangement moves away from the instrument’s traditional “high-flying” role, focusing instead on its ability to play with a warm, “blue” vocal quality. It is a stylish and lyrical highlight that brings a touch of Manhattan sophistication to the bandstand.
Difficulty 4
