Let Me Off Uptown

Let Me Off Uptown was a huge hit for the Krupa band, featuring Anita O'Day & Roy Eldridge. The chart is a medium tempo swing duet between the two & has some lovely spoken interplay between them. We realise that not many bands have Trumpet players who also sing, so we have written both vocal lines on one part, & cross-cued the male vocal onto the 2nd Trumpet part. This chart is also a Trumpet feature, with the 2nd Trumpet taking a screaming solo when the vocals are over. Eldridge's original version goes up to a super G, though we have provided chords should your player wish to improvise. There are no sax doubles.
