All My Loving (Ch.O'Farrill)

Immerse your big band in Chico O'Farrill’s masterful jazz arrangement of The Beatles’ timeless "All My Loving," expertly re-envisioned in the swinging, hard-driving tradition of the Count Basie Orchestra. This professional-grade chart, ideal for medium-difficulty ensembles, transforms the beloved pop classic into a sophisticated big band showpiece. O'Farrill's arrangement maintains a buoyant, medium-up tempo feel, characterized by Basie-esque shout choruses, crisp brass articulations, and a walking bass line that propels the harmonic rhythm. While staying true to the original melodic contours, O'Farrill introduces rich, extended jazz harmonies and call-and-response patterns between sections, creating dynamic interplay and textural variety. This arrangement is perfectly suited for a wide range of performance contexts, from professional club dates and festival appearances to advanced high school or collegiate jazz ensemble concerts. Its infectious energy makes it an excellent choice for dance events or as a high-impact opener or closer in any big band program.
