Sample played by London Brass

10043 – I Only Have Eyes for You

Warren/Dubin

Arranged by Roger Harvey

Difficulty: Medium

Price: £22.50

Programme notes:

One of the great standards of the 40s, this tune has been recorded by many artists. This version looks back to the big bands of the swing era and features the bass trombone in the style of the solos of the great American recording musician, George Roberts.

Performance notes:

The verse, bars 1-16 should be played in a jokey fashion, staccato and leggiro. The chorus should be ‘laid back’, swung but very relaxed. If the trombones do not have bucket mutes, cups will do. Let the bass trombone through in the balance. The whole thing should be slightly ‘tongue-in-cheek’.
