Misty – A Romantic Ballad for Saxophone Quartet (SATB)
Erroll Garner's timeless ballad, arranged for saxophone quartet. Composed in 1954 by the legendary jazz pianist Erroll Garner, Misty is one of the most romantic melodies in the jazz repertoire – a dreamy, tender standard recorded by countless artists, from Sarah Vaughan to Ella Fitzgerald. This arrangement wraps its famous melody in the warm, velvety sound of four saxophones, with rich jazz harmonies and expressive lines that let the ensemble's blend truly shine. An elegant and moving ballad, ideal for adding a touch of romance and jazz sophistication to any concert program.
Written by Frank Herrgott – pianist, composer and arranger – for Les Désaxés, a French saxophone quartet renowned for blending virtuosity and humor on stage.
