This version of “Summer Wine†recreates the Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood duet of the 1960s in the original key. This is a great opportunity for your male or female vocalist to invite a male or female guest vocalist to join them in this duet. There are parts for 5 saxophones (although the arrangement can be played with just 1 alto, 1 tenor, and baritone), 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, acoustic guitar, keyboard strings, electric bass, drum set, and finger cymbals. One of your redundant big band players could maybe be recruited to play the essential finger cymbals part. The arrangement requires some finger dexterity from your saxophone players, particularly the altos, but all those passages are doubled in the keyboard strings part. The keyboard part could serve as a basis for writing out your own string parts, which would be a wonderful opportunity to get your local string players involved.
