"Chickery Chick" - Your singers will have fun with this novelty song from the 1940s and develop their vocal jazz chops at the same time! Opening in a happy-go-lucky 6/8, it sounds like an Italian street song full of nonsense lyrics, then it transitions into 4/4 swing with an easy scat section. "Stray Cat Strut" - Your younger and developing groups will dig the rockabilly sounds of Brian Setzer in this pop hit from 1983! Fun jazzy lyrics and well-crafted for success! "The Pink Panther" - From the opening strains, everyone will recognize the quirky, jazzy theme by Henry Mancini! Younger singers will beg to sing this well-crafted arrangement with scat lyrics! "He Beeped When He Shoulda Bopped" - Written by jazz great Dizzy Gillespie, this bebop standard makes a perfect introduction to the world of vocal jazz for younger choirs.
