Reviews
Displaying all reviews (3)I usually am pleased with Singer Pro arrangements because I like to play the actual piano part (and not the vocal part mixed in). This time I feel cheated because whoever transcribed this gave up just before the flugelhorn solo. This arrangement is just two pages long! So if you only want the first 1:36 of a 4:36 song, then this is fine, though not exactly what is on the recording.
