It Happened In Monterey

AS RECORDED BY FRANK SINATRA
ARRANGED BY NELSON RIDDLE, ADAPTED BY ROB DUBOFF
Late in 1955 and early in 1956 Frank Sinatra went into the Capitol Studio with Nelson Riddle and recorded one of the best and most famous albums of all-time: 'Songs for Swingin' Lovers.' We are very proud to offer the classic 'It Happened in Monterey' from this album. This chart brings one of Sinatra's very best and timeless recordings sparkling to life.
This definitive vocal version of Monterey is a very well-crafted arrangement by the brilliant arranger Nelson Riddle. From the opening straight-eight melody to the triplets tossed between sections, this chart is instantly recognizable. This has been adapted to suit a big band lineup of 5 saxes (2 altos, 2 tenors, baritone) 4 trumpets, 4 trombones, guitar, piano, bass, drums, and vocals. The vocal key is G. Please note that the mp3 sample has an anti-piracy tone every 30 seconds.
Ranges:
- Trumpet 1: C above staff.
- Trombone 1: A above staff.
- Vocal Key: G
- Male Vocal Range: D below staff to D in staff.
