Feeling Good arranged by Rick Stitzel

Easy Jazz Ensemble - Grade 2
Popular again thanks to the recent recording by Michael Bublé, this hit was originally from the Broadway musical The Roar of the Greasepaint, The Smell of the Crowd. This bluesy arrangement requires no solos, but gives each section of the band a chance to be featured.

I understand why people are concerned about how bad the trumpets are, but in the description, it specifically says "Grade 2" It's not meant for aggressive trumpets lol.

Rick was my jazz band leader. Pretty strange to see a song he arranged getting half a million views on YouTube. I was trying to look up his son who drums and found this.
GO RICK GO!
You 9 fingered animated smoking jacket!

We're playing this in Jazz this year, and I've gotten the permission to sing with it. Can't wait to do so.

[Ganondorf]

I'm feeling good after listening to this.

[shawn_hearts]

I was Trumpet 1 in this song for my Jazz Ensemble! It was so fun!!!

[tjmitchell]

This is such a cool song I'm a saxophone player and they sound very musical

[awildfilingcabinet]

Unpopular opinion: mellowing out the trumpets doesn’t ruin the song but rather gives it a different feel, that works just as well.

[kitty-bupx]

I play guitar in my jazz band and we play this (:

[kenzie_K]

I literally love this song. We are playing it for my jazz band soo

[blackfxntom]

That was amazing I’m gonna learn this and surprise someone

[annaperez]

I am going to play this at my school!!!!

[larryblack]

Why does everybody hate the trumpet part? I play drums and they aren't that exciting but they add this part that is vital. I do think that the trumpets could be louder but same mellow feeling.

[Buddie_shipper]

We played this my 8th grade year and we speed learnt it and so it was awful we stopped in the middle of it and I was my verry last middle school band concert so I cried after

[meganf]

This seems like a really easy piece for my school band I think this would be a fun enjoyable piece to play!

[kikicucumber]

Trombone player here. I can’t play as smooth as the audio and the concert is in a week. Rip…

[zacharykesler]

This song gives me flash backs I don't like...

Birds flying high
You know how I feel
Sun in the sky
You know how I feel
Reeds driftin' on by
You know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Fish in the sea
You know how I feel
River running free
You know how I feel
Blossom on the tree
You know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Dragonfly out in the sun, you know what I mean, don't you know
Butterflies all havin' fun, you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when the day is done, that's what I mean
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me

Stars when you shine
You know how I feel
Scent of the pine
You know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And I know how I feel
