Bright Eyes

Swing Is Here

My second favorite Bill Holman arrangement. When I was in school at North Texas, we took everything at outlandish tempo’s. Hell, I think we did Lil’ Darling at about  mm120.  It wasn’t until I got the recording a few years later that I learned how Holman meant this to be played.  He remarked once how bands always take charts far faster then the arranger intended them
