The Ted Heath band was arguably the best big band from the UK and probably the only one to achieve any level of success in the USA, and it did so with superbly scored charts like this version of This Can't Be Love. Written at an up-tempo 200 b.p.m. and featuring great sectional and cross sectional writing, the chart offers a solo chorus for Trumpet 2 (improvised) and one of those rarities - a written Bass solo. This chart requires tightness and precision from the band, and the lead Trumpet is written to high F, hence we have graded it at the Medium / Advanced level. There are no sax doubles. Duration: 2:20 Grade: Medium/Advanced.
