(What Did I Do to Be So) Black and Blue

Description

• Composer: Thomas "Fats" Waller, Harry Brooks
• Arranger: Victor López
• Publisher: Belwin

(What Did I Do to Be So) Black and Blue arranged by Victor López is a beautiful ballad, and very playable by a young jazz group. The tempo is around 82 BPM with a straight-eighth ballad feel, smooth and lyrical melodic lines, modest brass range, no individual solos, and all the usual optional parts plus flute, clarinet, and vibes.
