"whatever Stan wants," composed, arranged, & performed by Rick Hirsch.  State College, PA, USA.  Fall, 2011.  It is scored SATB (as shown here) and AATB (if you don't have soprano player).  This arrangement is fully notated, including the 8-bars of optional improvisation in the tenor near the end.

This song is a nod to the legendary Stan Getz.  Getz first rose to prominence as a part of Woody Herman's "Four Brothers" band.  And his popularity continued with his early Bossa Nova records of Jobim's music.  Check out the lyrical main theme, which starts at the 1:30 mark in this video.

The audio and video recordings were engineered by Scott Smith of SAS Multimedia, also in State College, PA.  Didn't he do a fantastic job?!
