Took me about 3 weeks to enter the original Benny Goodman Papers Conductors Score of Flat Foot Floogie with a Floy Floy into Sibelius so I could create fresh parts as only the score was available. The title of this tune was censored from Floozie to Floogie. Floy Floy was slang for venereal disease (VD). I just found this info out about what the true meaning of the song. Had no idea. I purchased the arrangement because I liked the tune and arrangement done by Edgar Sampson. The score wasn't too far off from the record version. It amazes me how cuts and pastes were added or deleted to line up with a particular record release. Didn't find too many mistakes in this score. Most scores of this period were transposed scores and contained notes with the improper flat or sharp. Don't know how those guys (arrangers) did it. I much prefer Concert Scores where everything is written in the same key. Almost all of these scores have no drum parts. For you jazz nerds out there, in a modern jazz progression you will normally see a 2-5-1 progression. Pre-WW2 arrangements used 5-2-1. That openned my eyes. Little things like this are what makes analzing these scores so interesting.
