I’ve been playing I’ve Got a Crush On You in big bands for around 15 years now, and I’ve never been able to figure out what the trombone is doing in the intro verse. Well, the other night I took a photo of the trombone part, and today I wrote out a chart that should have been in Dave Barduhn’s original piano part. In the interest of saving the world one chart at a time, here’s my contribution. Feel free to download it! I ve Got a Crush On You – Trombone and Piano Verse
I have this in jpg as well, if you need it. Just send me a comment.

Personally, I think the high F natural in bar 17 is a typo or copying error in the original chart, and should be a G. But I’ve been mostly faithful in my copying the chart (only replacing an Ab minor chord with a more appropriate enharmonic G# minor.)
I fixed the F natural in bar 17. I’m convinced it was a typo. It’s now a G.
