This is Ella Fitzgerald’s somewhat sultry and brooding version of Caravan from her 1957 “Duke Ellington Songbook” album. Tonally quite advanced for its time, the chart moves from a quasi-samba feel to a double-time swing and back to half-time samba for the close. There is solo space for clarinet (scored on the alto 1 part). Key of Bb. Vocal range: F# below middle C to 4th line D
