Product Description
By Mike Strand, ASCAP
This is a lead sheet with lyrics, chord symbols and guitar fret boards, for a jazz or swing band, large or small, with a singer or solo instrument. Therefore, it is the foundation for many possible arrangements, improvisations and contra facts.
For a taste of what's possible with this tune, listen to the audio sample: A "Fats" Waller-style piano arrangement.
A small combo performance of this piece can be heard from the audio sample for They Came Here to Dance (Lead Sheet in D), also for sale on this site.
If you need more than a lead sheet, They Came Here to Dance (Swing Band Arrangement) offers a complete score, with two singers, in the key of D, also for sale on this site. Its audio sample plays the full score.
This tune recognizes and celebrates swing dancers.
