Herb Alpert’s endearing take on this 60’s standard from his Whipped Cream and Other Delights album is presented here for a Small Big Band of 4 saxes, 3 brass, plus Rhythm section. This chart gives an instrumental ensemble the opportunity to perform A Taste of Honey while observing the original key and form of the classic recording. For the final pass through the melody, the key shifts up a half-step to F# minor which can be a bit challenging to players with less experience.
