Description
Cheek to Cheek by Irving Berlin ♫ for vocalist + septet, the often-requested Irving Berlin favorite (made famous by Fred Astaire in the 1935 movie Top Hat) for dancers and listening audiences alike arranged by Rich Willey.
Key of C with four-bar intro, playable as a swing tune or with a Latin-jazz feel. 82 written measures, arranged to be played at ♩ = 150, difficulty level is intermediate to advanced.
The horn arrangement is “through composed” (72 bar form) to avoid being repetitive with a 10-bar turnaround coda that combines a snippet of Sonnymoon For Two and Count Basie’s trademark “plink, plink, plink,” sure to get a chuckle from the jazz fans in your audience.
Septet parts are for trumpet, alto sax, tenor sax, trombone, piano/guitar, bass and drums and come in a PDF that you’ll be able to download immediately upon submission of your order.
Here is the melody with lyrics (the vocalist’s part):
