Ted Heath

Apple Honey

Transcribed from Ted Heath's 'Swing is King Vol. 2' album, this version of Apple Honey closely follows the form of the Woody Herman original, though the solo spaces are less cluttered, allowing for more improvisational freedom. The order of the solos is Tenor 1 (as written, or improvised - full chorus), Trombone (improvised from chords on all parts - full chorus), Piano (improvised - half chorus) and Clarinet twice (as written - half chorus and improvised half chorus). The Clarinet line is written on the Alto 1 part, and the saxes are AATTB. The final flourishing Trumpet solo is written on Trumpet 2. Because of the tempo and the need for players to improvise at this speed we have rated this chart as advanced.
