Eltham High School Jazz Band, Directed by Brent Mills. Recorded at Mid Year Concert on Wednesday 22 May 2024.
The Shadow Of Your Smile - Johnny Mandel and Paul Francis Webster arr. Roy Phillipe
First introduced in the 1965 film The Sandpiper, this popular ballad first featured a solo trumpet melody. It has been recorded since then by many famous artists including vocalists Astrud Gilberto, Tony Bennett, Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra, as well as instrumentalists Oscar Peterson, Wes Montgomery and Bill Evans. This arrangement features many short solos, underpinned by rich harmonies, attempting to bring out the emotion in the lyrics that reminisce of a love lost.
