On a Clear Day

Kirby Shaw’s samba treatment of this stage and screen standard is truly unique! Despite the brisk tempo, held notes lock in tight vocal jazz chords, and a few staggered entrances provide textural interest. After a signature add-on stacks the voices into three independent layers, the arrangement clears the way for a syncopated scat riff at the end of the coda. SoundPax includes four horns and rhythm.
