My Funny Valentine
Rodgers & Hart in a funky shuffle style.
Composer : Rodgers & Hart
Arranger: Jim Fieldhouse.
Instrumentation: standard S/A/T/B saxophone quartet.
Difficulty: Advanced
My Funny Valentine, from the 1937 musical 'Babes in Arms' by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart, is well established as a much loved jazz standard. This version, scored for standard SATB saxophone quartet, puts the familiar melody over a relaxed funky shuffle groove, for a more contemporary twist.
There is no jazz improvisation required to play this arrangement but with several changes of style and a tricky soli section, there are plenty of moments to challenge the performers in this interesting take on a famous tune.
