Product Description

Arranged by composer, arranger John Yao, 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 stated by the Flugelhorn who is supported by colorful textures in the brass and saxes. About two-thirds of the way through when it shifts gears and is energized by a double time vamp providing additional solo space for the flugelhorn and eventually building to the climax of the chart.

"Tell me a Bedtime Story" works well if you're looking to feature a strong soloist in your band or to break up your program with a relaxing straight 8th chart. This chart is easily adapted to feature any instrument, just contact me at john@johnyao.com to inquire.

The YT Link track is performed by NYC based big band John Yao and His 17-piece Instrument and features extraordinary Trumpeter Dave Smith on Flugel.
