Beautiful Love is a jazz standard that has been with us since 1931, and is well-known enough to have been recorded by the likes of pianist Bill Evans, trumpeter Tom Harrell, and guitarist Joe Pass. It is presented here as a sultry down-tempo bossa nova for piccolo, four C flutes, and alto and bass flute, along with guitar, piano, bass, and drums. It features a very beginner-friendly arrangement that draws on rich harmonic color and melodic writing. It includes optional solos for everyone who wants to play, and a layered soli section for the flutes, finishing with a shimmering musical sunrise. This chart has very relaxed and playable parts, even for those with no jazz experience, and, as always, the piano voicings, bass lines, and drum grooves are fully notated.
