Tommy Dorsey

On The Sunny Side Of The Street

Made famous by the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, our version of Sunny Side of theStreet is taken from the version done by the late great Syd Lawrence. The form and structure is based on the original Dorsey version, including the unique intro, where we have wrtten out the bass 'solo' and piano fills too. This chart is scored for a vocal quartet of either 2 female and 2 male voices, though works well with 1 girl and 3 boys. The lead Trumpet range in the last bar goes to a high F, but we've cued alternative notes which keep the range here to top C#. . No sax doubles, and the brass ranges are moderate. An instrumental-only version of this arrangement can be found in the Tommy Dorsey section.
