Description
Showcase the warm, velvety tones of your flugelhorn soloist with Erroll Garner’s timeless jazz standard, Misty, beautifully arranged for British-style brass band by the prolific Darrol Barry. Originally composed in 1954 as an instrumental piece and later elevated by Johnny Mathis’s iconic vocal rendition, this setting masterfully translates the song’s lush, romantic character into the brass band medium. Barry’s expert orchestration wraps the soloist in a rich blanket of shifting, sophisticated jazz harmonies, providing a supportive backdrop that allows the lyrical melody to soar effortlessly without being overshadowed. Perfect for summer park concerts, light entertainment programs, or gala showcases, this arrangement is an absolute audience favorite that highlights the expressive depth and smooth phrasing of the flugelhorn.
