This View from the Top installment features a tricky 3/4 Big Band Chart. It's a tune called Misbehavin' by Bob Florence and is on the album Soaring, which came out in 1983. The drummer on the album is the great Nick Ceroli. This is an advanced up-tempo 3/4 arrangement that contains complex layered rhythms and many hemiolas (a rhythmically implied time signature within another time signature). This makes this chart especially difficult to read and perform.
