It utilizes counterpoint in the backgrounds rather than block chords you would find in a Basie chart. When performing this piece with your ensemble, try to play softly and with lots of balance. Check out some recordings of the Gerry Mulligan Concert Jazz Band for inspiration. As he once said, it is hard to swing softly, but it is worth it.

Pepper. He has written works for big band for jazz greats like Francisco Torres, Ken Peplowski, Roxy Coss, and Tamir Hendelman. David's other works are routinely played around the country and he has also appeared as a guest composer and soloists with many groups including the Swing Shift Jazz Orchestra, the Blue Skies Big Band, and the Jazz Northwest Big Band.

By Hart & Rodgers. By Lorenz Hart and Richard Rodgers. Arranged by John Ivor Holland. 20th Century,Broadway,Jazz,Latin,Musical/Show,Pop. 48 pages. John Ivor Holland #1025388. Published by John Ivor Holland (A0.1445548).

My Funny Valentine was written for the 1937 Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart coming of age musical 'Babes in Arms'. The song became a popular jazz standard, appearing on over 1300 albums performed by over 600 artists. One of them was Chet Baker, for whom it became his signature song; in 2015 the Gerry Mulligan quartet's 1953 version of the song (featuring Chet Baker) was inducted into the Library of Congress's National Recording Registry for its cultural, artistic and/or historical significance to American society and the nation’s audio legacy. The description of the male character of Valentine in the show was consistent with Lorenz Hart's own insecurities and belief that he was too short and ugly to be loved; consequently, the lyrics are sufficiently gender-neutral to allow the song to be sung about a person of any gender. This concert band arrangement has been produced from the jazz ensemble version by Michael Sweeney, created in 1988.
