Description
A swinger from the creative mind of arranger Tom Davis, It Had to Be You continues to be a recognized standard song popular in movies and on TV. The students will dig into this swinging chart starting with the clever intro right into the trombone section melody. Solo space (with written solos provided) is for trombone, trumpet, and tenor sax, and the brass ranges are reasonable. Your search for a superb arrangement of a great American standard by an experienced writer is over. A winner of a chart.
