BLUE

by SHEW Arr. by Gordon Brisker

Written in memory of the legendary Blue Mitchel, recorded by Louie Bellson, and available from Doug Beach some years ago through another distributor, we're issuing this wistful ballad as new because the computer engravings are entirely new and featured on our Volume 21 jazz demo. Flugelhorn or trumpet soloist is featured throughout, the trumpet section doubles on flugel in several places, and the difficulty rating is medium.
