Peter Eldridge / Darmon Meader : Baby Driver

Sheer, unbridled fun! For college or adult jazz chorus, this arrangement as sung by the New York Voices is a bit tricky, but well worth the effort. It features incredible harmony and rhythm and some a cappella sections, but the purpose of this piece is not to get technical - just to have fun! Four-part scat singing frames the piece on either end, while your baritone soloist goes to town (with great choral support) on each verse. Baby Driver, extracted from the New York Voices Songs of Paul Simon CD, is a toe-tappin', hand-clappin' jazz party. Invite everyone you know!

Arranged by Peter and fellow NYV member, Darmon Meader, this recording of Chamego (Betty's Bossa) is from the New York Voices recent CD release, A Day Like This (permission granted by MCG Jazz, www.mcgjazz.org).
