This is my big band arrangement of "If I Were A Bell" from the Musical "Guys and Dolls," based on the 1956 recording off of "Relaxin' with the Miles Davis Quintet." I've recently become interested in recreating/reimagining classic jazz recordings for the big band format following my arrangement of Wayne Shorter's "Penelope" and other recent arranging I've done, and this is one of my newest experiments! This recording is from a reading session with the Manhattan School of Music reading big band in April of 2024. It features Caylie Davis on Trumpet and Andy Peterson on Tenor Sax.
