NEW TO THIS CATALOG August 2006 Dear Jazz Band Director, Thank you for your interest in our electronic big band arrangement catalog. We are proud of this e-catalog and feel that it is our most complete edition.Why did we go electronic? Well, in reality the cost of printing and mailing catalogs has skyrocketed over the last couple of years, making it difficult to continue to offer our discounted prices and depth of material. In addition, printed catalogs, by nature, are obsolete just about as soon as they are done being printed: our website is updated daily with great new arrangements. We encourage you to migrate to our website for browsing and purchasing. You can view listings by title, arranger, performer, style, and even difficulty level. You can also search by any criterion. Recognizing that many of you will still prefer the look and feel of a printed catalog, we came up with this compromise - an electronic version of our annual printed catalog. Within this e-catalog you’ll find sound samples for many of the arrangements. Just click on the musical notes next to the title and the sound sample will play in your preferred media player. In addition, the title for each listing is a link to the same title on our website. If you’ve found something that you want, just click on the title and add that to your basket for checkout. We really feel that we can serve you better with this e-catalog and our website. If you would prefer to have a printed copy of this, please phone or email us - we’re happy to run one off for you. In other news, we have completey re-vamped our website. In addition to a new look and feel, it is much more user friendly and has new features that will make your browsing and shopping experience that much more pleasant. One of the major changes is that we now have the capability of accepting orders from customers who wish to use only a purchase order number. A credit card is not needed to complete your order.We have established accounts in our database for all our educational customers and setup their accounts so that a credit card is not needed. Another great new feature is that our educational customers are setup to receive our discounted pricing on all our products. Discounts vary from 10% to 20% off the retail price. These prices are automatic once you login. Of course, we still accept phone, fax, email, and mail orders from our educational customers. We’re so confident that you’ll be happy with your online shopping experience at ejazzlines.com that we suggest giving it a try. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us - we pride ourselves on our timely responsiveness. We hope you have a fulfilling Fall and Holiday Season. Thanks for your support from all of us at ejazzlines. Best Regards, Rob DuBoff and Doug DuBoff

FOR JR

JOURNAL SQUARE

Arranged by Shelly Berg Difficult $50.00 Cat: 54565 Composed in tribute to pioneering jazz educator, J. Richard Dunscomb, For JR is alternately beautiful and exciting. The style is straight eighth, with a warm main theme featuring piano, then soprano sax. The orchestration is colorful and lush. The contrasting section is a 7/4 cascara! The cascara section has excitement and climaxes into the piece, and is also a solo vehicle for alto sax. Some sax doubles.

Arranged by David Berger Medium $42.00 Cat: 61385 This straight ahead shuffle in the tradition of Duke Ellington’s train songs will be a welcome addition to advancing big band literature, and is also appropriate for professional bands as well.

SOLEMN DESTINY Arranged by Shelly Berg Medium Difficult $37.00 Cat: 54558 Haunting ballad for solo trombone. Composed for Bill Watrous. Some sax doubles.

ARRANGED BY ANDREW BISHOP FUNERAL MUSIC FOR JOBIM AND PIAZZOLLA Arranged by Andrew Bishop Medium Difficult $55.00 Cat: 51825 This work was commissioned to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Wichita Jazz Festival and was conceived as a piece that shifts between Bossa Nova and tango. Harmonically it mines Chopin's Prelude in E minor, op. 28, no. 4--a chord progression used by both Jobim and Piazzolla--and the title suggests a connection to Beethoven. The prevailing texture is contrapuntal in the spirit of Renaissance vocal music along with several other reworked conventions of Western concert music. It is conceived and written as a trombone feature, but additional solo parts are provided for B-flat, E-flat and other concert key instruments making this an ideal feature for guest artists and soloists ranging from flugelhorn, guitar, or even violin. The chord changes are fairly simple but require the soloist to adapt through form and feel shifts. Easy to moderate ranges for all wind instruments.

MORE THAN SUGAR Arranged by Andrew Bishop Medium Difficult $55.00 Cat: 51826 The title and tempo marking "apocalyptic rhumba" (medium) are reverence to Cuban music--though it is composed more in the spirit of John Coltrane and Elvin Jones rather than traditional guaguanco. The chord changes are fairly straight forward even though they require the soloist to adapt form and tempo--a layering modal pyramid for the tenor and drums to drive the soloists to the fine. The ranges are moderate-to-difficult with some ossia for trumpet 1.

The chord progression is ‘Rhythm changes’ in Ab.

CHAOS THEORY

***NEW***

Arranged by Dan Cavanagh Difficult $55.00 Cat: 50573 Up-tempo Swing. This driving, exciting piece explores changes from stability to instability and back to stability again. Quick, explosive motifs in the beginning of the piece give way to a developing ocatonic (half-whole) melody. A lush trombone solo out of time gives way to percoLating backgrounds that build over time. Solo space for tenor sax comes next with a much more aggressive character. The piece ends with a solo contemplative piano drawn from ideas found earlier in the piece.

HAVING BUILT IN DEEPER WATER ***NEW*** Arranged by Dan Cavanagh Medium Difficult $55.00 Cat: 50571 Medium tempo, straight eights in 3/4. Woodwind doubles (clarinet/bass clarinet). One of Dan's most popular (and most performed) pieces! Starting off with pedal point C in the bass, this lush piece develops organically over time, presenting evolving representations of the same initial idea. Substantial solo space for the soprano sax and guitar and a nice overall shape to this piece make it an ideal program complement to straight-ahead swing pieces.

NORTH SOUTH

***NEW***

Arranged by Dan Cavanagh Medium $55.00 Cat: 50575 Straight eighths, medium tempo. Commissioned by saxophonist Dave Camwell, this piece features your soprano soxophonist.

The tune quickly drops back down. The modal solo section features beautiful backgrounds bubbling up from the surface, leading towards a dramatic push to the end of the piece.

PHASE SPACE

***NEW***

Arranged by Dan Cavanagh Medium $55.00 Cat: 50572 Relaxed Swing in 3/4. Phase Space is set in a relaxed mood with the melody first outlined by the lead trombone.

The piece ends with piano trio simply stating the melody.

SPLIT-ROCK

***NEW***

Arranged by Dan Cavanagh Difficult $55.00 Cat: 50570 Up-tempo swing. This high-energy big band piece starts off with a full ensemble shout and drops its energy down into a short piano solo. The band then enters with fragments of the main melody, using bold dynamic gestures and sharp attacks to highlight drum work. After a large build-up and statement of the tune, a tenor solo ensues with plenty of space and well-integrated backgrounds. Next comes an open drum solo after which the melody returns. This piece ends with a final burst of energy making it a great closer.

Premiered at the IAJE conference in 2005, Black Rattle utilizes a ‘follow the leader’ concept. Bass trombone is the first leader: the other instruments begin their parts after the bass bone and try to ‘catch up.’ Trumpet takes over and leads the ensemble through more leader/ follower moments. The tune then counts off into an aggressive, driving melody leading to a modal trumpet solo. The backgrounds reprise earlier material, but end up pushing towards another leader/follower section featuring your drummer.

A tutti ensemble section brings the chart full circle back to 4/4 for a reprise of the melody. 5 reeds: alto 1 doubles on flute, trumpet 1 to high f#.

This isn’t an easy chart to play, but it is well worth the effort. All ranges are fairly reasonable, with the 1st trumpet part topping out at a written high E. This is recorded on the highly acclaimed CD Towednack by Bob Curnow and the SWR Big Band.

ARRANGED BY FRANK FOSTER

Arranged by Frank Foster Medium $55.00 Cat: 51213 A medium up-tempo D-flat major blues scored for Count Basie (and partially dictated by the Count himself) around 1960. This somewhat imitates the Basie Band style of the 1940s, with brass fanning hats, etc. Solos for tenor, trumpet, and piano. This chart was recorded by the Count Basie Orch on Breakfast Dance.

BASS IN YO’ FACE Arranged by Frank Foster Medium Difficult $55.00 Cat: 51214 A medium tempo 12-bar blues featuring string bass, of course. The bass soloist states the melody as written, then gets off following an ensemble chorus. Ad-lib solo segments include trading fours with the trombones, saxes and trumpets with some challenging soli figures, especially for the saxes and trumpets.

BLUES IN HOSS’ FLAT (BLUES IN FRANKIE’S FLAT) Arranged by Frank Foster Medium Difficult $55.00 Cat: 51215 A medium shuffle blues in D-flat scored for the Basie Orchestra in 1957. This chart was featured in the Jerry Lewis film The Errand Boy. The chart features solos for tenor (not heard on the original Roulette Records recording), trumpet, and trombone. Recorded by the Count Basie Orchestra on ‘Chairman of the Board.’

BOOZE BROTHERS Arranged by Frank Foster Medium $55.00 Cat: 51200 Medium blues. Solo changes on 2nd trumpet and 2nd trombone. Recorded by the Count Basie Orchestra on ‘The Legend and the Legacy.’

CECILIA IS LOVE Arranged by Frank Foster Medium Difficult $65.00 Cat: 51205 Starting out with a slow ballad-like intro, this piece breaks into a medium, somewhat Latinesque groove, and after an eight-measure introductory build-up the pretty melody is stated in unison. There is an optional baritone sax solo. The band director may wish to feature the flugelhorn/trumpet soloist only, since this is not a short piece. And if you insist on letting the baritone sax jump in there, he/she better know some harmony. The chart goes out all the way keeping the Latin groove (which, by the way, would be strongly enhanced by the presence of a set of congas and/or bongos, along with other Latin percussion axes). As recorded by Frank Foster’s Loud Minority Big Band.

TITLES LISTED BY ARRANGER DOWN FOR THE COUNT Arranged by Frank Foster Medium Difficult $55.00 Cat: 51211 Medium blues. Solos for piano, trumpet with harmon, and trombone. As recorded by the Count Basie Orchestra.

EASIN’ IT Arranged by Frank Foster Medium $55.00 Cat: 51218 Another D-flat blues, but this one’s more laid back (as the title might imply). In the pocket tempo, the chart starts the same as the one recorded on Roulette Records, from the pen of Frank Foster, but includes additional ensemble choruses not heard on the original recording. Solos for tenor, trombone, and trumpet. Not a difficult chart.

FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES

CLANKS Arranged by Frank Foster Medium Difficult $60.00 Cat: 51230 2nd trombone is featured throughout this arrangement, opening with the melody written out for solo trombone playing funky using the plunger (a la the late Al Grey), then unison trumpets take over doing the same thing on the second chorus. After that it's all trombone on this medium tempo blues, first with the plunger, then open horn after the modulation from F to B-flat major. Sax doubles on piccolo (or lead flute) - 3 flutes, and bari sax to bass clarinet on the back half of the chart. Lead trumpet high is F4. If your trombone soloist can handle the plunger, this should be a nice little 3-plus minute feature. As recorded by the Count Basie Orchestra on ‘Basie's Bag.’

COME ON IN

Arranged by Frank Foster Medium Difficult $53.00 Cat: 51202 After a brassy intro in 2/4, the chart breaks into a medium fast swing. Although this tune is not a blues, the tenor and trombone follow blues in Bb patterns for four choruses apiece. Exciting sudden death ending.

‘FOS ALARM Arranged by Frank Foster Medium Difficult $57.00 Cat: 51219 A medium swing tempo rouser, this chart features baritone sax. With a one-measure pick-up break at the end of the intro, the ‘big E-flat’ states the melody of this B-flat blues, then takes off on its own for a series of choruses.

Arranged by Frank Foster Medium Difficult $60.00 Cat: 51231 A nice groovy medium tempo piece that swings right along, with solos for 2nd alto sax and 4th trumpet. Based on 'I Got Rhythm' chord changes, the arrangement contains a few 'boppish' licks in the melody and solo backgrounds. This is a relatively simple chart that should be good for dancers who like not-too-fast tempos. Lead trumpet to a D4.

[VOCAL]

Arranged by Frank Foster Medium Difficult $55.00 Cat: UNCJ-1010 Up-tempo blues as recorded by Diane Schuur with the Count Basie Orchestra.

DIDN' YOU Arranged by Frank Foster Difficult $60.00 Cat: 51232 With the same harmonic structure as the late Dizzy Gillespie's 'Woody'n You', this song features tenor sax and piano. Following the intro and opening chorus the ensemble swings for half a chorus, then introduces the piano solo starting on the bridge. One full chorus of piano follows, then a sax-measure build-up to the tenor sax, which takes over for the rest of this chorus, then two more. Late in the chart there are short written tenor sax solo exchanges with the ensemble. Also at the very end, a four-bar solo break (soloist may play optional written cues, or ad-lib own ideas so long as they take it out in adequate fashion). After the soloist comes to rest on a suitable sustained tone, preferably in the upper register, the director gives a downbeat for the ensemble's closing chord. Lead trumpet to high G4.

DISCOMMOTION Arranged by Frank Foster Medium Difficult $57.00 Cat: 51217 A romping B-flat blues written for Count Basie around 1959. It swings hard at a medium-fast tempo. Solos are for piano, tenor, and trombone. A two-chorus trumpet section soli follows the piano solo.

CALL NOW TO ORDER! 1-518-587-1102

Arranged by Frank Foster Medium Difficult $52.00 Cat: 51203 From the Count Basie book of the ‘60s, this straight ahead blues swings with a sax section soli after the head. Features trumpet and tenor solos and two out-choruses of typical Basie ensemble style finishing up.Includes guest tenor solo, but is optional. Recorded by Manhattan School of Music.

Arranged by Frank Foster Medium Difficult $55.00 Cat: 51216 This is a kind of knock-down-drag-out blues in A-flat major that features solos by piano and trombone. In a medium fast swing tempo the chart is somewhat typical of the so-called New Testament Basie Band, where shouting brass and funky reeds were the order of the day.

HAMPTON STRUT Arranged by Frank Foster Medium Difficult $57.00 Cat: 51233 A 16-bar blues that's just a little too happy to really be bluesy, 'Strut' lopes along with a medium up-tempo swinging motion with several 'two-five' progressions in its harmonic framework. Solos by trumpet, trombone and tenor sax are enhanced by straight-ahead groove-producing background figures. Lead trumpet to high Eb4. As recorded by the Count Basie Orchestra on ‘Basie's Bag.’

Try Katherine The Great - no pyrotechnics; no open-ended ensemble trips to never-never land without the rhythm section; just a nice pretty little piece for your trumpet, tenor sax and piano soloists to groove on for a few minutes while your audience sits back without having to hold onto their seats.Recorded on ‘The Legend, The Legacy by the Count Basie Orchestra’ in 1989. No score.

TITLES LISTED BY ARRANGER KING CHARACTER Arranged by Frank Foster Medium Difficult $55.00 Cat: 51220 Originally written to feature legendary veteran bassist Earl May, longtime member of Frank Foster’s Loud Minority big band rhythm section, this chart is perfect for the big band bassist who rarely takes solos. A simple 12-bar blues in F major, the tune merely requires an ability to improvise on the blues. Along with bits of interesting ensemble work, your bassist gets to blow on some straight-out blues changes, walk some behind a trombone solo, and make the final statement of the melody with a tag and a slowed down ending.

LADY CAROLYN Arranged by Frank Foster Medium $53.00 Cat: 51223 This lovely ballad is the third movement of Foster’s Count Basie Remembrance Suite. The lead trombone is featured in an entirely written solo, except for a short improv cadenza on the ending. Also featured is alto on a written solo on the first bridge, and then an improv 16-measure solo on the second chorus. As recorded by the Basie Orch on ‘Basie’s Bag’ directed by Frank Foster.

LITTLE CHICAGO FIRE Arranged by Frank Foster Medium Difficult $60.00 Cat: 51234 This up-tempo swinger is dedicated to one of Chicago’s finest and one of the world's most fiery tenor saxophonists, Johnny Griffin. The challenging melody, based mostly on 'I Got Rhythm' chord changes, is written out for two tenor saxophones and two trumpets, all of which are featured soloists on the chart. The harmonic variations may be a little tricky for the soloists at first, but a little concentration and application should get them past this aspect. The ensemble blasts behind the soloists as they go through their paces, then following the first 16 measures of the shout shorus, they take it out with melody from the final bridge. Lead trumpet high Db 4.

SHINY STOCKINGS Arranged by Frank Foster Medium Difficult $55.00 Cat: 51207 The original Foster classic from the Basie book. Medium swing featuring a trumpet solo. Recorded by the Count Basie Orchestra.

SIMONE Arranged by Frank Foster Medium Difficult $60.00 Cat: 51208 Medium blues waltz with solos for tenor and piano. A deceptively different set of chord changes.

SKULL-DOUG-ERY Arranged by Frank Foster Medium $55.00 Cat: 51204 A challenging unison melody and an equally challenging set of chord changes reminiscent of the hard-bop era characterize this moderately fast tenor sax feature. The solo is on the 2nd tenor part, but you’d better give it to your star player, as the harmonic structure calls for NO LYING. The chart also includes a piano solo, and some fairly nice ensemble work.

TOMORROW'S BLUES TODAY

***NEW***

Arranged by Frank Foster Medium Difficult $60.00 Cat: 51225 This is a somewhat different kind of blues. While it employs the normal 12-bar chorus format, it uses minor seventh chords insted of major or dominant chords in the first eight measures of the 12-bar chorus. Yet, it's not a minor blues, because it sounds major as a result of the minor 7th substitutions, which do not resolve to dominant 7th chords in II-V sequences. The only dominant 7th chord in any chorus occurs in the 9th and 10th measures, a C7 raised 9th. Solos for 1st tenor and 4th trumpet. Should be played as a medium swing tempo. Trumpet 1 to double high G.

TRANSITION

Arranged by Frank Foster Medium Difficult $55.00 Cat: 51224 One of Frank Foster’s more ambitious charts in the context of the so-called ‘Basie Tradition,’ Major Butts is really just another medium up-tempo 12-bar blues, but with the added twist of an ‘I Got Rhythm’ bridge in long meter played in a jazz Samba groove. One full chorus consists of two 12-bar blues segments followed by the Latinesque 16-measure bridge and then another 12-bar blues segment, giving the song an elongated A-A-B-A form. The chord changes aren’t difficult, and your tenor sax and trumpet soloists should handle them pretty well. If the band director elects to insert additional solos it is suggested that all soloists be limited to one full chorus apiece.

Arranged by Frank Foster Medium $60.00 Cat: 51236 The second movement of the Count Basie Remembrance Suite (four movements total), this short easy swinger, with its simply stated melody, is reminescent of the infectious Basie style of the ‘40s, featuring solos by tenor sax, trombone and muted trumpet. No one has to stretch for their limits on this one. Just groove it right along with some tasty little licks. Some humor may be injected in that the last two soloists (trombone and trumpet) enter in such a way as to appear to be interrupting the previous soloist before that person is finished soloing. Looks of surprise, astonishment or good-natured annoyance by the tenor sax and trombonist might be in order. A few '4s' are traded by the soloists, then all three take it out together. The bass walks a six-measure intro (yes, 6 bars), then three flutes and harmon muted trumperts do the melody accompained by bass clarinet. Flutes and bass clarinet go all the way, as the only saxophone is the tenor soloist. Lead trumpet to high C4.

UPTOWN RECOLLECTIONS

MAJOR BUTTS

Arranged by Frank Foster Medium Difficult $46.00 Cat: 51206 This is a ballad featuring trumpet or flugelhorn. Flute and clarinet doubles on saxes. A very meaty big band style tune of the late ‘50s and early ‘60s.

Arranged by Frank Foster Medium $52.00 Cat: 51209 1940s big band sound. Up-tempo swing, featuring alto, tenor and trumpet solos.

ODE TO JOE NEWMAN

Arranged by Frank Foster Medium Difficult $57.00 Cat: 51210 Written for Basie Band. Has great sax soli and trombone, tenor and trumpet solos.

Arranged by Frank Foster Easy Medium $53.00 Cat: 51227 A somewhat mournful but haunting ballad dedicated to the late great jazz trumpet stylist, a New Orleans native who made his name with the bands of Lionel Hampton and Count Basie. This chart features three of your trumpeters, or all four, whichever you prefer. There are written and improv solos for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th chairs, while the lead player has an eight-measure written solo on the final bridge of the tune. Chart goes into double time for the improv solos, then returns to ballad tempo.

VICTORIOUS BLUES

WE BE JAMMIN’ Arranged by Frank Foster Medium Difficult $65.00 Cat: 51212 Up-tempo swing with solos for piano, alto, trumpet, and trombone. Recorded by University of Wisconsin, Eau Claire on Brilliant Corners.

READY NOW THAT YOU ARE, G.B. Arranged by Frank Foster Medium Difficult $57.00 Cat: 51235 Written for and featuring guitarist George Benson with the Basie Orchestra, 'Ready Now' takes us on a swinging mildly up-tempo (but not too up) excursion through some slightly challenging harmonic area. However, it's still straight-ahead swing, and not too far off the norm for big band jazz, and should be fun for your trombne and alto sax soloists, and of course your jazz guitarist. Lead trumpet to high E4.

WHO, ME? Arranged by Frank Foster Medium Difficult $57.00 Cat: 51221 This arrangement is part of Frank Foster’s Vintage Basie Series, compositions performed and/or recorded by Count Basie and his world famous New Testament orchestra between 1953 and 1960. It’s another straight ahead blues, for which that band was especially noted. Recorded by the Count Basie Orchestra on Chairman Of The Board. The full ensemble blasts into the introductory chorus, followed by two choruses of the ‘head’ stated alternately by saxes and brass. Next comes a twochorus saxophone section soli displaying no pyrotechnics, just simplicity and swing. A growling muted trumpet solo greases things up for a minute (on the recording the marvelous Snooky Young played the solo; no one did it better), backed up by trombones with a riff that must have been dated some 25 years prior to the recording! Next of course what else but a typical ‘Basie-styled’ piano solo, couched in that All-American rhythm section format; you know the drill.After the piano the soft full ensemble takes over with a 24-bar build-up to the shout chorus, which is of course punctuated by Young’s screaming open trumpet, and the piece ends with the customary dominant 13th chord with raised 11th.

YOU GOT IT

REVISITED

YOU CAN HAVE IT

Arranged by Frank Foster Medium Difficult $55.00 Cat: 51229 From the Count Basie library. This medium up-tempo blues features solos by flute, 4th trumpet, 2nd trombone, and 2nd tenor. It’s a nice set opener to get things started vigorously.Your tenor sax soloist has to take it out with a flourish on the end, as there’s a four-measure break for a climaxing cadenza in tempo before the closing chord. The soloist can’t be laid back, so to speak; this has to be with a straight-ahead, slamming kind of approach that will get the audience aroused and wanting more.

The pianist has a blow atop the chart, just after the intro and before the statement of theme in Thad Jones-esque style. 1st trombone has a blow over a figure that moves around the band beneath him/her. Lots of plunger playing in the brass and layers of sound. Charts are for piano, bass, drums, 4 trumpets, 3 trombones, bass trombone, and 5 saxes standard. Difficult. As recorded by the Gairo-Rissmiller Jazz Orchestra on Sea Breeze Records,‘Treacherous.’

***NEW*** TREACHEROUS

Arranged by Tony Gairo Difficult $55.00 Cat: 51527 Features three motives in counterpoint, each motif representing one of the three issues in the tune's title. The three lines come together for a tutti chord that introduces a piano blow on the form. After lots of ensemble interplay, the 2nd tenor player gets to explore an open vamp. More ensemble work precedes a tutti out chorus. Charts are for piano, bass, drums, 4 trumpets, 3 trombones, bass trombone, and 5 saxes standard.Difficult. As recorded by the Gairo-Rissmiller Jazz Orchestra on Sea Breeze Records, ‘Treacherous.’

***NEW***

Arranged by Tony Gairo Difficult $65.00 Cat: 51532 Revisited is most certainly an advanced level romp that, at its core, is a blues, though it frequently wanders astray. The brass is screaming, the tempo is "as up as you can take it", the head is very bebop, and there is a moderate amount of doubling and muting. The solo sections (one that is wedged between the intro statement and the head) can be opened-up for choruses of blowing. There is a bit of counterpoint jusst to challenge the band even more. This can be a real "toe-tapper" once it comes together.Charts are for piano, bass, drums, 4 trumpets, 3 trombones, bass trombone, and 5 saxes standard. Difficult. As recorded by the Gairo-Rissmiller Jazz Orchestra on Sea Breeze Records, ‘Treacherous.’

***NEW***

Arranged by Tony Gairo Difficult $55.00 Cat: 51525 Treacherous is an advanced level chart that floats between an up-tempo swing and a half-time funk. The composer's intention was for the work to represent the treacherous experience of driving through a severe winter storm late at night after hours of studio time. There is quite a bit of stop-time, with the rhythm section tacit for measures at a time. Featured is a trombone section/bari sax soli that is a "chops buster", 1st tenor solo over a wicked line that morphs into a tutti setting up the straight 8ths funk feel, a pointillism section over the freshly established funk groove that may need to be conducted, a 4th trumpet blow over the funk, and lots of rhythm section "parts". Charts are for piano, bass, drums, 4 trumpets, 3 trombones, bass trombone, and 5 saxes standard. Difficult. As recorded by the Gairo-Rissmiller Jazz Orchestra on Sea Breeze Records, ‘Treacherous.’

THE ESSENCE Arranged by Dan Haerle Medium Easy $47.00 Cat: SMP-252 Dan has created a wonderful rock ballad, with a nifty, repeating vamp figure, that can be played by even the most inexperienced players.

IMMEDIATE LEFT Arranged by Tim Hagans Medium Difficult $60.00 Cat: 55376 An up tempo tour de force for big band with occasional slow stinky swing sections. Alto and trumpet soloists are featured. Angular melodies baswed on the Hagans' approach to improvisation abound. As with many Hagans' charts, the development (in the form of a early shout chorus) takes place before the main theme is stated. Challenging rhythmically and melodically for all players.

LETTERS IN A BOX Arranged by Tim Hagans Medium Difficult $60.00 Cat: 55377 A medium swing but heavily orchestrated composition. A moving ensemble where every note is a new chord.

TITLES LISTED BY ARRANGER MISSED THE BALLGAME BLUES

***NEW***

Arranged by Tim Hagans Medium Difficult $55.00 Cat: 55382 Medium swing. One fat chord introduces a bass solo before the actual intro and head are played. A puckish melody is developed throughout. This chart also features a small band soli for mixed instruments that leads to tenor and piano solos. A mighty shout leads back to the intro, head and out. As with all of Hagans' charts, the lead lines are derived directly from his distinctive improvisatory melodic language, giving the players and listeners a unique experience.

ROLLIN' WITH VON OHLEN

***NEW***

Arranged by Tim Hagans Medium Difficult $60.00 Cat: 55381 An up tempo rhythm changes chart written for and recorded by John Von Ohlen and the Blue Wisp Big Band. Features a wild sax soli with soprano lead (alternate alto included.) Solos for trombone, piano, and trumpet but can be easily opened up for other soloists. The shout chorus is an exciting exchange between band and drummer. The chart ends in a half-time romp with humor and joy.

SPACE DOZEN Arranged by Tim Hagans Medium Difficult $60.00 Cat: 55379 This piece asks the following question: "Can the blues be played without actually playing the blues progression?" The theoretical chords merely describe the emotional content. For example, during the solos in Space Dozen, the soloist is asked to play over the emotion in the fourth bar that leads to the fifth bar rather than thinking V7 of IV to IV7...the emotion found in the rhythm section must play an abstract emotional progression. Great for emphasizing that being able to make the changes is only a start. One must also understand the emotional impact of each note choice. To avoid tonality, the piece is based on a 12-tone row. Ensemble sections are based on the row but are surprisingly consonant. A 12-tone shout chorus leads the way back to a full ensemble unison statement of the theme. A concept from Hagans' small group experiments expanded for big band. Solos for alto and trumpet but can be opened up for any musician. No doubles.

TWIST AND OUT Arranged by Tim Hagans Medium Difficult $60.00 Cat: 55380 Up-tempo swing. Feature for trumpet/tenor duo in front of band. An examination of the vertical and horizontal aspects and powers of the three basic blues chords: 17, IV7 and V7. An open form contrapuntal ensemble section follows the presentation of the fragmented theme by the duo. Solos are open each of the above mentioned chords giving the soloist a chance to explore the meaning of the blues. After a piano solo, the band states the theme (for the first time as a 12-bar blues) in unison and then in constant structure to bring the blues to a boil. Originally recorded for Blue Note Records as a sextet piece by the Blue Note All Stars. Big band version recorded by the Norrbotten Big Band on Future North on Double Time records.

ARRANGED BY RYAN HAINES PEOPLE AND PLACES Arranged by Ryan Haines Difficult $57.00 Cat: 56280 Exciting and impressive full band feature.

COOL SCHOOL DROPOUT

***NEW***

Arranged by Les Hooper Medium $55.00 Cat: Cat: SMP-745 This is exactly as recorded on the Hooper CD ‘Out of the Woods.’ It is a wonderful piece at a medium swing tempo, with a great feel, fresh harmonic content, lots of clever lines and solo space for tenor sax. There are also short drum solo breaks. The great thing about this chart is how fresh it sounds, how hip it is, and how easy it is to play. The ranges are very modest (1st tpt. only an A above the staff). 5/4/4/4

LOCAL TIME Arranged by Les Hooper Medium $47.00 Cat: SMP-209 Once again Hooper leads the way with a chart that is simple to play but still great to listen to. Solo space is open for Trumpet or others at your discretion. This chart has limited ranges, (occasional written D above the staff for 1st Tpt. but generally much lower) but not limited musicality or charm. This has a sort of Basie-ish sense to it but also a certain hipness.

LONG INTERMISSION

***NEW***

Arranged by Les Hooper Medium Difficult $55.00 Cat: 53000 An exciting piece with driving rhythms on a meter layout of 4, 4, 4, and 3 giving the effect of a missing beat every 4 measures. Handclapping on 2 and 4 for the 4/4 measures and 2 & 3 for the 3/4 measure will give this piece an infectious quality. Solos will be played over a singular basic mode, thereby freeing up the soloist to concentrate on the odd meter. No doubles.

MILES BACK

***NEW***

Arranged by Les Hooper Medium $55.00 Cat: SMP-746 This is exactly as recorded on the Hooper Big Band CD ‘Out of the Woods.’ It is a wonderful piece, written in an easy swing tempo, with a great feel, fresh harmonic content, lots of clever lines and solo space for trumpet, trombone and bass. Very reasonable ranges (1st tpt. high B only) and rhythms make this a very easy piece to play, but it has musical qualities and integrity which will meet the demands of even the most accomplished ensembles. 5/4/4/3

MUNCHY THE MOUSE Arranged by Les Hooper Medium Difficult $52.00 Cat: SMP-212 This chart is a play on “Minnie the Moocher” and somewhat set in that era. It’s a modern day Swing chart with bebop roots. The chart sounds old fashioned and modern all at the same time. It has modern elements mixed with an older style. The groove under the main “head” is a touch Latin, but mostly a Jazz feel, not unlike Hooper’s great arrangement of “Green Dolphin Street.” Solos for trumpet and alto saxophone (or anyone you wish). This chart is a blast!

NEW SUIT FOR ZOOT Arranged by Les Hooper Medium Difficult $57.00 Cat: SMP-213 Les has created another techno-swing chart that has overtones of the old swing band style, but it is set very much in modern day fashion. The open solo section can feature any one or a number of soloists - your choice. You’ll love the quiet, swinging ensemble section. Very reasonable ranges throughout. This chart is a blast!

NOT SO FAST

***NEW***

Arranged by Les Hooper Medium Difficult $55.00 Cat: 53001 A tenacious jazz piece with an infectious 4 bar ostinoto bass line that glues everything together, leaving freedom for the horn lines that hover overhead. The ranges aren’t too difficult, though there are 1 or 2 high Ds written for 1st trumpet and there are no doubles. The title indicates that there is a ‘perfect’ tempo for this at 195bpm.

***NEW***

Arranged by Jeff Jarvis Difficult $48.00 Cat: 61060 This authentic Latin original for advancing groups is truly a showstopper in every way! The chart is named after a popular Latin dance club and restaurant in New York City that recently closed. After opening with a dynamic tutti unison statement, this challenging work utilizes two Latin feels, namely songo and Samba. The songo rhythm is most commonly heard in salsa music and employs lots of exciting syncopation supported by a repetitious, but always moving rhythm section background. The Samba rhythm is used in the interlude section of the piece, which features very lush, modern voicings. Solo space is offered for soprano saxophone, tenor saxophone, trumpet, and trombone. A member of the rhythm section could also solo. A guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson is included in each set.

FLIGHT TO AUGUSTA Arranged by Jeff Jarvis Medium $42.00 Cat: 61215 This funk original for advancing groups was commissioned by Dr. John Bradley, director of the Augusta (GA) State University Conservatory Jazz Band. The chart employs a tuneful melody supported by an interesting chord progression, and rock solid orchestration. It’s fun to play and will leave both the band and the audience whistling the melody. The piano part is predominately notated with chord symbols provided. The guitar part has notated parts and sections with changes and slashes. Some of the key melodic material is shared by the guitar and optional vibraphone, but is cross-cued into other horn parts during those sections. Solo changes are cued for all instruments. A guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson is included in each set.

This also could be played by a smaller instrumentation as recorded by Oliver (4 saxes, 2 tpts.,2 trbs., 3 rhythm). 5/4/4/3

DOWN BY THE RIVERSIDE Arranged by Oliver Nelson Medium Difficult $47.00 Cat: SMP-370 There has been an illegal lift of this chart available before, but this chart is the exact, original one that Oliver Nelson wrote for his terrific recording Live From Los Angeles. This was taken directly from his score. A wild, wonderful look at an old tune that can feature 1, 2 or all of your trumpet players (or anyone else). 5/4/4/4

EMPTY BALLROOM BLUES Arranged by Oliver Nelson Difficult $52.00 Cat: SMP-398 Nelson wrote an album for Johnny Hodges (Black, Brown & Beautiful) featuring the compositions of Duke Ellington and also some of his original things.

It can feature many different players, but is written to feature tenor saxophone. 5/4/4/3

GROOVE Arranged by Oliver Nelson Medium Difficult $52.00 Cat: SMP-415 This piece was taken from Nelson’s original score. Exactly as recorded on the Verve Jazz Masters 48 CD (now out of print).

Opens with a great brass chorale.

HOBO FLATS Arranged by Oliver Nelson Medium $47.00 Cat: SMP-386 As recorded on the brilliant CD Afrique, by the Count Basie Orchestra, this chart was originally written for a Jimmy Smith album.

I HOPE IN TIME A CHANGE WILL COME Arranged by Oliver Nelson Medium $47.00 Cat: SMP-387 As recorded on the brilliant recording A Dream Deferred. Quite possibly the most heart-rending, beautiful melody Nelson ever wrote. It features soprano saxophone throughout (either an alto or tenor player) in a slow 12/8 feel. All parts are very easy to play, but don’t let that cause you to think this is a kiddie band chart. This is Nelson at his spiritual best. 5/4/4/3

IT’S GLORY Arranged by Oliver Nelson Difficult $52.00 Cat: SMP-396 Also written for Black, Brown & Beautiful, this Ellington tune starts out with a rhythm section vamp and swings on from there.

SOUND PIECE FOR JAZZ ORCHESTRA Arranged by Oliver Nelson Difficult $92.00 Cat: SMP-399 This may well be the most significant (and respected) piece in the huge catalog of Oliver Nelson compositions. It is a magnificent, three-movement work that stretches the boundaries of the traditional big band. The instrumentation includes solo tenor sax, 5 W.W. (doubles on 3 cl. and 2 bs. cl.), 2 french horns (cross-cued and optional), 4 tpts., 3 trbs., tuba, piano, bass and drums. This is a major, groundbreaking work which should be in every college and professional jazz ensemble library.

STOLEN MOMENTS Arranged by Oliver Nelson Difficult $52.00 Cat: SMP-384 This, of course, is Oliver Nelson’s best known jazz standard. Here is his OWN fantastic arrangement for big band as recorded on a 1969 LP titled A Dream Deferred (on the Flying Dutchman label). Alto solo. Exotic re-harmonizations and instrumentations. This is a must have chart after which all other charts on this tune sound inferior. 5/4/4/3

YEARNIN’

TITLES LISTED BY ARRANGER FOOTLOOSE Arranged by Sammy Nestico Easy Medium $35.00 Cat: NEST102 8th notes are especially short. Rhythm must supply a solid, steady beat for this arrangement to sound good. Some real solid, “laid down” drums will really benefit everyone. Choice of solos are all written out for the different instruments. Again, a very low trumpet section demands that everyone listen as not to cover up the melody.

FREE FLIGHT Arranged by Sammy Nestico Medium Difficult $45.00 Cat: NESTP105 Balance is the key starting at bar 7 and through bar 26. Each statement from the different sections is important for the overall balance. During the unison band chorus at bar 71, feel free to change a figure to tailor it for your ensemble. It isn’t written in stone, and any change won’t detract from the principle idea of the chorus. Recorded by Sammy Nestico Big Band on This Is The Moment.

Arranged by Oliver Nelson Medium Easy $47.00 Cat: SMP-394 As recorded on the wonderful LP Black, Brown and Beautiful, featuring Johnny Hodges, this nifty blues chart has very reasonable brass ranges, no doubles, and Oliver’s sort-of gospel feel to it.

FRONT BURNER

YOU LOVE BUT ONCE

Arranged by Oliver Nelson Medium $47.00 Cat: SMP-369 There may not be a more beautiful ballad anywhere in jazz ensemble literature. This is an alto saxophone feature throughout and was recorded on the Full Nelson album and also included in the Verve Jazz Masters collection CD. This is a stunning piece, which has a decidedly orchestral/classical sound to it. The possibility of using the original clarinet, flute oboe, bass clarinet and celeste parts makes this a most interesting and special piece. Regular saxophone parts are also included if doubles are not available.

ARRANGED BY SAMMY NESTICO AFTER YOU’VE GONE Arranged by Sammy Nestico Medium Difficult $35.00 Cat: NEST105 Very laid-back and easy for the first chorus. Use guitar, piano or your choice of instruments for the jazz sections. Drums should build up a bar before the ensemble at 61. The ensemble should be BIG! From 75 to the end should be very light for a large contrast.

Arranged by Sammy Nestico Medium $45.00 Cat: 7210016 As recorded by Peggy Lee, Joe Williams, Count Basie and many others, this popular standard breathes new life under the masterful pen of Sammy Nestico. A flexible solo section allows for any combination of soloists.

TITLES LISTED BY ARRANGER JUST IN TIME Arranged by Sammy Nestico Medium $40.00 Cat: 32423017 Sammy’s medium swing arrangement of this popular standard just seems to gather steam all the way through. Terrific ensemble writing and no solos.

KATIE Arranged by Sammy Nestico Easy Medium $35.00 Cat: NEST104 This calls for a very lazy feel. Keep saxes quiet behind. Piano solo at bars 21-25. Work on the split triplets at bars 35 and 36. They offer a chance for some very clean ensemble work. Very full at measure 43 and back down to a whisper for ending.

KIJI TAKES A RIDE

NICOLE Arranged by Sammy Nestico Easy Medium $35.00 Cat: NEST108 Straight 8ths throughout. Electric rhythm is preferable. Bar 27 is very full, with sax line and trumpet melody predominate. Guitar should not be locked into the part. The music is down to a whisper for the ending.

THE QUEEN BEE Arranged by Sammy Nestico Medium $42.00 Here’s Nestico’s classic from the Basie library.

Cat: 2460

Arranged by Sammy Nestico Medium Difficult $50.00 Cat: NEST114 A real specialty number and can’t be played by every jazz ensemble. It sounds much more difficult than it really is, but it does take on some additional instrumentation. It needs a second keyboard (synthesizer) plus mallets and percussion. There is no guitar part. This arrangement does away with the need for flutes, woodwind, french horns and tuba. It is a lot of fun to play, and individual parts are not extreme. The bright tempo doesn’t call for a lot of fancy syncopation. With some heavy rehearsing, this could work well on a diversified program. Recorded on This Is The Moment.

QUINTESSENCE

LONELY STREET

Arranged by Sammy Nestico Medium $45.00 Cat: 32323038 Here’s an outstanding medium swing arrangement of this jazz favorite.

Cat: 2410

LOST STAR Arranged by Sammy Nestico Easy Medium $35.00 Cat: NESTY105 The first 12 bars asks for a good balance and presence from the rhythm section (preferably electric). We need some real dynamic change at bars 29 and 61, so make it happen! The last ensemble (bar 61) has some saxophone counter-melody that should be heard strongly.

LOVE IS HERE TO STAY Arranged by Sammy Nestico Medium $40.00 Cat: 32423019 This is an absolutely gorgeous tenor sax feature! The ensemble has plenty to do, too, in providing a lush, subtly swinging backdrop for the soloist. If you have a strong tenor player, this could be the highlight of your program.

ROBBIN’S NEST

ST. LOUIS BLUES Arranged by Sammy Nestico Medium $40.00 Cat: 32423011 Sammy’s unparalleled craftsmanship is evident in this masterpiece. In one tempo throughout, there’s a hint of ‘march style.’ Solid ensemble writing.

SAMANTHA Arranged by Sammy Nestico Medium Difficult $45.00 Cat: NEST106 Originally written for and played by Bud Shank, it is a showpiece for alto saxophone. The arrangement carries a wide dynamic range, and needs a very soft but smooth approach for background figures. An extremely large swell in bars 32 and 33 leads to a very powerful few bars of ensemble. It remains full until bar 50 and progresses into a quiet ending containing a brass pyramid.

Arranged by Sammy Nestico Medium Difficult $45.00 Cat: NEST101 Strive for a good blend of altos/trumpets and tenor/trombone figures. Mostly section material until the ensemble at bar 85. Minor blues always offers more color. No straight time for the guitar. He should be comping most of the way. Recorded by Sammy Nestico Big Band on This Is The Moment.

SWINGIN’ ON THE ORIENT Arranged by Sammy Nestico Medium Difficult $45.00 Cat: NESTP108 Dynamics and feel are of utmost importance in the playing of this arrangement. The first two bars can be omitted. A little less volume at bar 7, and then into the trumpet/ alto statement of the theme. The new theme at bar 54 is to be played full, but at an mf dynamic marking. At this point make certain that the trumpets are playing less volume than the saxes and trombones. They are not carrying the ball. Of course the ensemble at bar 116 is full and tight. Bar 74 calls for crisp quarter notes from the band, and leads to a delicate last four bars. Recorded on ‘This Is The Moment.’

HOT WHEELS JUMPIN' HIGH

TICINO

ANDREWS SISTERS/ANTHONY/BARNET AS PERFORMED BY THE ANDREWS SISTERS APPLE BLOSSOM TIME

***NEW*** [VOCAL]

Transcribed by Alan Glasscock Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-3100 This arrangement of the Andrews Sisters’ version of Apple Blossom Time shows a more sentimental side of the trio’s repertoire. Unusually, the chart is only scored for 3 voices, 4 trombones and 4 rhythm. There are no parts for trumpets or saxes, so it can be used as a showcase for your bone section and singers. This has been faithfully transcribed by referencing a number of recordings that the Sisters made, in order to get complete authenticity and accuracy. This number will sit well in any set, particularly as a late-night closer. Vocal key G/Eb/G [Female trio vocal SSA]

BEI MIR BIST DU SCHOEN

***NEW***[VOCAL]

Arranged by Myles Collins Easy $65.00 Cat: LL-2135 Here is the Andrews Sisters’ version of Bei Mir, and it is one of their most famous and popular songs. This chart includes the opening verse, with the clarinet solo fill-ins behind, and the solo vocal middle 8 also with the clarinet solo behind. The band backings have been adapted into a full big band line-up, from the smaller set-up used for their original recording. The vocal lines are written out as-sung, and the trumpet solo is written out in full too. Alto 1 is on clarinet throughout, with alto 2 and both tenors doubling clarinet up to the trumpet solo. The vocal key is F minor.

BOOGIE WOOGIE BUGLE BOY

[VOCAL]

Transcribed by Alan Glasscock Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-99408 The Andrews Sisters produced a huge number of hits, and this is one of their finest. Alan Glasscock has scored a cracking version here, and has notated the vocal trio parts with exceptional skill. There were a couple of key verions of this song. One was the Decca release and the other done for the movie ‘Buck Pirates.’ The Decca chart used a small backing band, the movie a full big band. This version fuses the two and takes the best from both. Both of the trumpet solos are fully written out (intro and in the middle section of the chart), and the Boogie Woogie piano / bass lines are all there. Although this is a vocal trio, a solo vocal part has been included should you wish to perform this chart with just one female vocalist. The saxes are scored for clarinet, 2 altos and 2 tenors throughout. Key of D.

HOLD TIGHT

[VOCAL]

Transcribed by Alan Glasscock Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-2144 The Andrews Sisters recorded this chart with the Jimmy Dorsey orchestra in November 1938, and it went on to be a big hit for them. The original chart has been transcribed, but it has been scored for 8 brass and 5 saxes rather than the original 5 + clarinet (the clarinet solo lines are now on alto 2).The Andrews Sisters interweaving vocal lines are scored in full, as are all of the band backings with carefully notated dynamics and articulations, to allow your band to recreate the authentic sound. Another fine transcription. Alto 2 doubles clarinet, and the vocal key is Bb.

JINGLE BELLS

[VOCAL]

Arranged by Alan Glasscock Medium Easy $65.00 Cat: LL-2016 This chart is just happy and fun from start to finish. Written for a male vocal and female vocal trio, it is equaly well suited to a male / female duo. Full of quirky little fills and backings from the band which compliment rather than outshine the vocalists, plus a cameo baritone sax solo, this chart is perfect for injecting a little festive cheer. Both altos are on clarinets, the brass ranges are very moderate (lead trumpet only up to an A) and the vocal ranges are not challenging. The only tricky little bit is the piano intro. Key of E flat.

RUM AND COCA COLA

[VOCAL]

Transcribed by Alan Glassock Easy $65.00 Cat: LL-2132 Rum and Coca Cola is an enduring hit for the Andrews Sisters, sung against a Calypso rhythm apart from the last 5 measures which move into swing tempo. All three vocal parts are written to intertwine in true Andrews Sisters style. The chart is scored for SSA vocal, piano, bass, guitar, drums, maracas and 4 trumpets only. The solo trumpet line is written on the 1st part, but cross-cued on the other 3 trumpet parts, so you can share the solos around the section if needed. The vocal key is Bb.

AS PERFORMED BY RAY ANTHONY MR. ANTHONY’S BOOGIE Transcribed by Myles Collins Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-1093 Mr Anthony’s Boogie is a rousing up-tempo swing Boogie Woogie which features the trumpet section, and a solo 3rd trumpet in particular. This chart is really powerful, and great for a jitterbug dance crowd. We have graded it as medium/advanced, as the arrangement has a number of triplet passages which require precision from both trumpet and sax sections, plus the trumpets are quite high in their registers. The trumpet and tenor solos are written out, though we have left the pianist free to improvise. Though not a long chart, at two and a half minutes, your players might still need a quick rest after blowing it! No sax doubles.

TENDERLY Transcribed by Bob Martin Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-1057 Tenderly has been a standard for trumpet players for a long time. This is the Ray Anthony version from his huge-selling album, ‘Dream Dancing’, from the early ‘50s, and is in 4:4 time. Ray played a little bit with the Miller band and, when he formed his own outfit after WWII, he kept the clarinet lead. Ray is not a high-note artist and has a powerful low range, and in this chart the solo is given to the 3rd trumpet.

THUNDERBIRD Transcribed by Myles Collins Medium Easy $65.00 Cat: LL-1206 Thunderbird is another chart from the Ray Anthony/George (the Silver Fox) Williams partnership, and is a classic of its time. It is an ensemble chart, and has some great sectional writing. The unusual feature part is the baritone sax, which underpins the whole chart from start to finish. The arrangement is full of color and dynamic contrast, as well as being a really bouncy swing number. Playing this chart will help to develop good sectional techniques within your band, and it is recommended not just as a dance piece but as a band training tool too. The chart has been faithfully transcribed right down to the Anthony’s cameo muted trumpet lead over the sax section towards the end of the piece, and the important little piano licks and fills on the part have also been written in.

TRUMPET BOOGIE Arranged by John Ferguson Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-1169 Ray Anthony used this chart in much the same way as Harry James used Trumpet Blues - as a rousing sectional feature. It storms from start to end, and plays just as well at a slightly reduced tempo too. The arrangement features solos for tenor and trumpet, a cameo piano solo in the intro, and some thundering sectional interplay. Saxes are scored for a regular section and there are no sax doubles.

AS PERFORMED BY CHARLIE BARNET CHEROKEE Arranged by Myles Collins Medium Easy $65.00 Cat: LL-1078 Cherokee was the first big hit for Charlie Barnet and his Orchestra, though when Billy May arrived for the 1939 recording session and handed out the parts nobody seemed that impressed with it! This is a good tenor feature, and a straight forward chart to play. The arrangement is full of interest. Glissing trombones, trumpets with wah-wah plungers, and some rich voicings in the saxes and ensemble sections. This chart is the one that set the standard for all subsequent arrangements of this Ray Noble composition. There are no sax doubles.

SKYLINER

***NEW***

Transcribed by Myles Collins Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-1043 Arguably the most famous number of the Charlie Barnet Orchestra, Skyliner is a really punchy, up-tempo swinger, featuring a piano intro, unison brass carrying the melodic line, with clarinet-led saxes over the top and later on a cracking trombone soli. Both tenor sax parts are scored with the solo chords and the cameo trumpet solo can be taken by lead or second.

ACES AND FACES Arranged by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-1053 This is a medium swing tempo chart from the Basie band of 1945, featuring the trumpet. There are ad-lib solos for piano, clarinet, tenor 1 (cued on 2), trumpet 2 (cued on 1,3&4) and trombone 1 (cued on 2) too. This chart will make a refreshing addition to any library, and it is very playable, provided you have soloists who can improvise! Lead alto doubles clarinet.

AFTER SUPPER Transcribed by Jon Harpin Medium $65.00 LL-1108 Another beautifully relaxed chart from the Basie band, featured on the Atomic Mr Basie album. Written by Neal Hefti, this easy chart is aptly named. It is slow, relaxed, laid-back and super cool. It features piano, tenor and muted trumpet solos and there are no sax doubles. The brass is muted throughout. Originally written for 7 brass, an optional 4th trombone part has been added for completeness. The bass trombone is on the 3rd part.

ALL OF ME

***NEW***

[VOCAL]

Transcribed by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-1172 This version is a transcription of Basie’s performance from the ‘Sinatra at the Sands’ album, and it differs slightly from the great Billy Byers studio version of the chart. It opens with a floating piano solo, and the piano takes the first chorus, with sparse backings from the band.The second chorus is ensemble, with some beautiful harmonic structured writing, and the piano solo comes back for the third, with some classic call and response with the band. The chart must be taken at a laid-back pace, and your band needs to observe the written dynamics and articulations in order to achieve the right feel. The piano part is written out as played, though the lead line at the start of the second half of the first chorus has been written in, where Mr. Basie chose not to play at all. The chart is graded as medium even though the lead trumpet has a written high F. The 4th trombone is bass.

AVENUE C Transcribed by Myles Collins Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-1089 Here is Avenue C in all its glory. A rousing flat-out swing chart, written by Buck Clayton for the Basie band. This chart powers from start to finish and is great for both concert work and swing dancing. All of the instrumental solos have been transcribed (2 tenors, trumpet, trombone and piano) and have included all phrasing marks, articulations and dynamics. This is a truly rare chart from the Basie band at the height of its power. There are no sax doubles.

BASIE BOOGIE Transcribed by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-2407 Basie Boogie is, as its name might suggest, an up-tempo piano feature that swings from top to toe. Like many of Basie’s charts, the arrangement evolved over time, but this version is from the original recording. The piano part has been written out in full to include the licks and fills and the boogie-woogie left hand patterns, though your player can improvise from the chords if need be. The band parts are not demanding, and fairly sparse, leaving the pianist a lot of space. No sax doubles.

BEAVER JUNCTION Transcribed by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-1052 Written by Harry Edison, this chart, whilst still being a punchy swing tune, shows the way for others such as Cute, where unison muted trumpets take the melody. There are a couple of fine sax soli passages in this arrangement, a small cameo solo for trumpet 2, and the Basie piano intro that became something of a hallmark. Not technically difficult, this chart requires precision and good section work to do it justice. Great for dancing or concert work. No sax doubles.

ALRIGHT, OKAY,YOU WIN

[VOCAL]

Transcribed by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-2403 This version of Alright, Okay was done by Joe Williams with the Count Basie Orchestra and it is a very danceable bouncy shuffle that has a solid pulse. There is nothing complicated about the chart and it is a fine example of how to score an arrangement to feature your vocalist. There is also a great 8 bar bridge between the vocal choruses which gives a real kick. The trombones are written for 3 tenors and a bass, though the bass bone is in tenor range. The chart has been scored to reflect Joe Williams’ performance. No sax doubles. Vocal key: Ab

ALRIGHT, OKAY,YOU WIN Arranged by Sammy Nestico Medium $45.00 Cat: 7210016 As recorded by Peggy Lee, Joe Williams, Count Basie and many others, this popular standard breathes new life under the masterful pen of Sammy Nestico. A flexible solo section allows for any combination of soloists.

AMOROSO Arranged by Benny Carter Medium Difficult $52.00 Cat: SMP-273 As recorded by Count Basie on the Roulette LP (Vogue CD) ‘The Legend,’ this is an up-tempo latin and swing chart. Solo space is provided for tenor sax. trumpet and drums. There is an open solo for your drummer and latin inst. players (if you have them) The tune moves beautifully from latin to swing and back again. Classic Basie! 5-4-3-4 (w/opt. 4th Trb.)

APRIL IN PARIS

Arranged by Benny Carter Medium Difficult $52.00 Cat: SMP-267 As originally recorded on Kansas City Suite, this is a medium-tempo chart featuring solos for tenor saxophone, trumpet and piano. It is a terrific arrangement that puts a lot of emphasis on the saxophone section. Classic Basie! 5-4-3-4 (w/opt. 4th Trb.)

COME FLY WITH ME Transcription by Jon Harpin Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-85400 This is Frank Sinatra at his best. This chart is a transcription of Sinatra with the Count Basie Band, taken from Sinatra at the Sands. It features the original band intro - big, punchy and nearly a minute long - giving you time for a big introduction to your vocalist. The chart is also marked with an optional start point, just before the vocal, should you wish to shorten things. We have removed a couple of muted trumpet fills here and there, to keep things cleaner. There are some sax doubles.Altos go to clarinets and tenors to flutes. These doubles add color to the voicings though are not vital to the chart. So if your tenor players are fluteless don’t worry too much. The vocal is in Bb, with a range from Bb to D (one octave and 3 tones) and has been written out to give your vocalist a good feel of Sinatra’s phrasing.

CORNER POCKET Transcribed by Myles Collins Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-1220 Corner Pocket was written by the unsung hero of the Count Basie band, Freddie Green, and its title is a reference to the place that Green called his own - the corner pocket of the rhythm section. This has been transcribed from the ‘Basie in London’ album but the chart has been adapted slightly to make it suitable for 8 brass. There are ad-lib solo spots for trumpets 1 & 2 and tenor 1. Basie’s piano solos are written out as-played, as is the last 8 measures of the lead trumpet solo because it suggests the theme for the final shout chorus at the end of the piece, though your player can improvise if desired. There are no sax doubles. A fabulous chart from the height of the Basie Band.

Transcribed by Jeff Hest Medium $50.00 Cat: JE9902 Exactly how Count Basie and his orchestra played it. Every detail of this jazz standard has been transcribed and recontructed by Jeff Hest. What better way to learn about the Basie style than to play this classic. An educational vehicle that is long overdue.

CUTE Arranged by Neal Hefti Medium Easy $75.00 Cat: LL-1199 Cute is one of the great tracks from the Basie band of the 1950s, and one of a series written and arranged for the band by Neal Hefti similar to that found on The Atomic Mr Basie album. This is the original Hefti arrangement and not a transcription, and makes a nice show spot for your drummer. There is not a full score with this arrangement, though a conductor lead sheet is included.

I LEFT MY HEART IN SAN FRANCISCO Transcribed by Myles Collins Easy $65.00 Cat: LL-1075 This arrangement is based on a 1960s Basie instrumental version, in the Neal Hefti style. It is a laid-back, relaxed swinger, mostly in ensemble but with nice counterpoint passages of unison altos and trumpets against tenors and trombones. The tenor solo can be played as written or improvised, depending on your preference. Likewise with the little piano fills and licks. This chart is easy to play and will give that wonderful relaxed sound that was the feature of so many Basie arrangements.

I’VE GOT YOU UNDER MY SKIN

[VOCAL]

Transcribed by Myles Collins Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-1090 Another very rare chart, this is named for trombonist Dickie Wells. This was first recorded in ‘39 as a 7-piece featuring Wells, Buck Clayton and Lester Young, backed by the All-American rhythm section. The tune evolved over time until Basie recorded the version that is offered here. The tempo is more relaxed and the harmonic structure is modified a little, though the form is still original. This chart features trumpet, trombone, tenor and piano, interspersed with backing phrases. All four of the solos are written out as-played (chords are included for improv). No sax doubles.

Transcribed by Myles Collins & Patrick Gazard Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-2014 This chart is a transcription of Sinatra with the Count Basie Band, taken from Sinatra at the Sands, and is a must for all male vocalists. Everything has been included, from the rumbling baritone sax line, the big trombone build after the first vocal chorus, the wailing trombone solo and even the little piano fills and tinkles. We have re-scored the saxes to a regular AATTB section and have removed the clarinet & bass clarinet doubles from the original, as we recognize that not all bands have a bass clarinet at hand. All dynamics are clearly written, and the vocal part replicates Sinatra’s performance. The brass ranges are moderate other than the trombone solo which is up to high Db, though your player can always improvise on the chords provided. A fine addition to any library. Key of Db.

DUET

IN A MELLOW TONE

DICKIE’S DREAM

Transcribed by Jon Harpin Medium Easy $65.00 Cat: LL-1098 Duet is one of the great tracks by Neal Hefti, from The Atomic Mr Basie album. This is a wonderfully laid back chart featuring two of your trumpet players. This is a transcription of the original Hefti arrangement, and includes fully transcribed Joe Newman and Thad Jones’ solos, scored on trumpet 2 and trumpet 4, plus the piano solo and fill-ins. We have rated it as easy/medium, but as with so many charts your band will need to be tight to do it justice. There are no sax doubles.

EVERY TUB Transcribed by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-1051 Another flat-out swing chart from the earlier days of the Count Basie band. Every Tub is a quick swing chart featuring tenor sax, trumpet and piano, with loads of visual possibilities too, as much of the brass ensemble work uses plungers/fan hats. All of the original solos are written out, though your players can improvise over the chords if they wish. This is another rare Basie chart. The brass ranges are moderate and there are no sax doubles.

Arranged by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-1189 This Basie chart was scored by Frank Foster, and our version is closely modeled on this. It has the same length and structure as the Basie chart, but we have modified the sax soli to make it playable by us mortals, though the lead trumpet still needs to hit high F. This chart is a Basie classic, and all five and a half minutes swing in the groove. We have written out an opening piano solo and another behind the later brass chorus, but your pianist can improvise instead. There is also an ad-lib trombone solo written on the 1st trombone part. 4th trombone is bass. No sax doubles.

LESTER LEAPS IN Transcribed by Myles Collins Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-1087 First recorded in September 1939, in the same session as Dickie’s Dream, Lester Leaps In is a milestone chart which showcased the phenomenal talent of Lester Young. The arrangement evolved over time, easing in tempo, lengthening and gathering more band backing, until we arrive at this version. This chart simply swings from start to finish. All of the tenor solos have been transcribed, also the piano solos and bass lines too, though chords are provided on the parts should your players wish to improvise. If you have a star tenor player that you wish to spotlight, then Lester Leaps In is a perfect choice. There are no sax doubles.

This chart evolved over time, as many of Basie’s charts did. The original was possibly a little ‘corny’ perhaps, with the piano line being played in typical stride style. This later version was played using far fewer notes, with less emphasis on the left hand, and it swings all the better for it. However, it is a quick chart and you will still need a pretty good pianist to do it justice. There are no sax doubles.

The trombone solo fill-ins behind the first two choruses and the tenor fills after the solo have been written out. The vocal sheet is written out as sung, and there are no sax doubles. Although the band had 5 trumpets during the recording session, this chart has been adapted to 4. The vocal key is B flat.

SCOOT

SWINGIN’ THE BLUES

SAMANTHA

Transcribed by Myles Collins Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-1117 A wonderful chart from the pen of Neal Hefti. Scoot is almost all muted and fluted, originally with Frank Wess’flute paired with tightly plugged trumpets (using a mix of mutes) to generate a relaxed but closely confined sound. The chart is quite quick and will need nimble fingers from your trumpets, but once they get their fingers round it the chart will snap into place. The flute solo is ad-lib, and the saxes are on flute, alto, 2 tenors & baritone. We have cued the flute solo chords onto the alto 2 part in case you don’t have a flautist. The chart is playable without the flute lead.

SHORTY GEORGE Transcribed by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-1181 Shorty George was first recorded by the Count Basie Orchestra in 1938, and proved to be one of his early big hits, and has become a ‘must-have’ tune for Basie fans. It is up-tempo swing chart which featured Basie and his three big soloists Buck Clayton (trumpet), Lester Young (tenor) and Dicky Wells (trombone). We have written out the original solos for you, though your players can improvise on the chords provided too. This arrangement is really punchy and powerful, with some great sectional interplay and big ensemble passages. We have also written in the licks and fills on the drum part. There are no sax doubles.

SMACK DAB IN THE MIDDLE Arranged by Sammy Nestico Easy $42.00 This jazz shuffle was arranged by Nestico and performed by Basie.

Cat: 2605

SPLANKY Arranged by Neal Hefti Medium Easy $75.00 Cat: LL-1203 Splanky is one of the great tracks from the Basie band of the 1950s, and one of a series written and arranged for the band by Neal Hefti to be found on The Atomic Mr Basie album. This is the original arrangement and not a transcription, and includes fully written out tenor and piano solos. There is not a full score with this arrangement, though a conductor lead sheet is included.

SPLANKY Arranged by Sammy Nestico Medium $45.00 Cat: WBRP2021 Your band will shine on this medium tempo chart and the ensemble writing will have the band sounding just like Basie. Solo space provided for 1st tenor sax, 2nd trumpet and 1st trombone, accessible brass ranges, add the Basie-style rhythm section fills and you have a superior chart that will stand the test of time.

72

Transcribed by Myles Collins Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-99964 An up-tempo chart that swings from beginning to end, with solo space for trumpet, both tenors, piano and drums. All solos and the piano/bass/guitar parts are chord based. A nice punchy chart from the Basie book.

TEDDY THE TOAD Arranged by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-1121 This is NOT the Hefti stock chart that was issued many years ago. This is the complete Basie version, and a nice trombone sectional feature. The chart is written for 2 tenors and 1 bass trombone, with an optional 4th (tenor) trombone part. The Basie band only recorded this tune three times, once on the Atomic album, once live in 1958 and again live in 1959. The live takes were played quicker! All three versions has been drawn from to recreate this swing classic. The piano part has all of the little fills and licks written in, as does the drum part, and the trombone parts are written as they were played, including the over-emphasised dragged notes and the lovely unison trombone ending with the band whisper quiet behind, so that your band will be able to recreate the authentic Basie feel. There are no sax doubles. The lead trombone hits a high C, hence we have rated the chart as medium.

THAT WARM FEELING Arranged by Sammy Nestico Medium Easy $42.00 This ballad arrangement was performed by Count Basie.

Cat: 2510

TICKER Arranged by Bill Holman Medium Difficult $52.00 Cat: SMP-190 This chart was recorded by the Count Basie Orchestra on the CD I Told You So. Another hip, blues chart from Holman’s Basie LP. Piano, tpt., and tenor sax solos, with a very neat saxophone section Soli. Great shout choruses. Well within the abilities of any good band. Cond. Score/parts for 5-5-4-4 instrumentation. (condensed score)

TICKLE TOE Transcribed by Myles Collins Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-1088 Tickle Toe is a real tenor sax feature. This chart, with the usual Basie combination of flowing sax lines and punchy brass, is written in a minor key, giving it a haunting tonality. Quite quick, at 210 bpm, the chart itself is not technically too demanding, once your sax players have got their fingers around the tune. All of the solos have been written out (tenor, trumpet and piano) and the chords too, should your players want to improvise. No sax doubles and the brass ranges are pretty moderate.

TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT Arranged by Bill Holman Medium Difficult $52.00 Cat: SMP-310 Count Basie recorded this on the wonderful CD I Told You So. This is a happy, cookin’ chart by Holman, with solos for tenor saxophone and piano. It is a guarantee that your band will LOVE playing this one, and your audiences will love hearing it. The final “shout” chorus is amazing! 5-5-4-4 (4 tpts. works as well)

TREE FROG Arranged by Bill Holman Difficult $52.00 Cat: SMP-329 This chart was recorded by the Count Basie Orchestra on the CD I Told You So. This is yet another terrific Holman chart written for that band! A medium-tempo shuffle that just swings and swings! There is solo space for a bucket-muted trombone, piano and an optional high trumpet part in the shout chorus. Tree Frog is a wonderful chart, written for and recorded by the great Basie Band. 5-5-4-4

TUNE TOWN SHUFFLE Transcribed by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-1134 Here is a fabulous swing dance chart from the Count Basie orchestra of 1941, and if you play to a dance crowd, then this chart is a must-have number. After a punchy opening, the tune itself is just so bouncy that it makes your feet tap without you realizing. The chart also features a wonderful bridge, leading to an ad-lib piano solo, then some great brass passages which give ample opportunity for plenty of fan-hat waving. The chart is then lifted higher by two chromatic key changes, an ad-lib tenor solo and the final short shout chorus to finish. A rare jewel from the Count Basie book. There are no sax doubles.

UNTIL I METYOU (CORNER POCKET)

***NEW***

Arranged by Michael Sweeney Easy $35.00 Cat: 7470693 One of the all-time classic charts from the Count Basie Band is this gem penned by long standing guitarist Freddie Green. Available for the first time in an arrangement for beginning bands, Michael Sweeney has crafted an authentic-sounding version that will work great for festivals or concerts. From the opening strains to the final shout chorus, the Basie style shines through.

UNTIL I METYOU (CORNER POCKET)

***NEW***

Arranged by Mark Taylor Medium Easy $40.00 Cat: 7010913 One of the classic arrangements from the Count Basie Orchestra is adapted for younger bands in this authentic-sounding version by Mark Taylor. The signature piano intro is scored for trumpets in mutes and all the familiar ensemble passages are included. There are brief solos for trumpet and tenor before the well-known shout chorus closes it out. A must for all bands.

VINE STREET RUMBLE Arranged by Benny Carter Medium Difficult $52.00 Cat: SMP-269 As originally recorded by Count Basie on the Roulette LP (Vogue CD) Kansas City Suite - the Music of Benny Carter, this is a medium-up Shuffle feel, with solos for tenor saxophone and piano. The sax section plays the tune in unison while the brass interject those terrific rhythmic figures that Carter wrote so well. Soft, tight ensemble passages swing like crazy and raise the roof when played yet again up an octave and very powerfully. Classic Basie! 5-4-3-4 (w/opt. 4th Trb.).

WHIRLY BIRD Transcribed by Myles Collins Advanced $65.00 Cat: LL-2412 Another beautifully crafted piece from the Basie Band, featured on the Atomic Mr Basie album. Written by Neal Hefti, this chart is aptly named. It is a flat-out, driving swing chart that features piano and tenor. Basie’s solos are written out, but the tenor solo has been left open. This arrangement is advanced, not because of the speed of it, but because the trumpets need to play up high. The lead goes to a written high F. Originally written for 7 brass, a 4th trombone part has been added. The bass trombone is on the 3rd part. There are no sax doubles.

BASIE/LOUIE BELLSON/LES BROWN WHO’S BLUE

***NEW***

Arranged by Benny Carter Medium $55.00 Cat: SMP-749 One of the great Basie recording was ‘The Legend,’ of which all the pieces were Benny Carter originals. This chart is from that recording, and it is a wonderfully soulful piece, set in a slow swing tempo. There is solo space for piano and trumpet. This is a simple, elegant 16-bar tune that Benny sets in his wonderful fashion. This bluesy chart will be a favorite with everyone. Very modest brass ranges (1st tpt. high Bb only) make this is must for any band. 5/4/4/4

THE WIGGLE WALK Arranged by Benny Carter Medium $52.00 Cat: SMP-260 As originally recorded by Count Basie on the Roulette LP (Vogue CD) Kansas City Suite - the Music of Benny Carter, this is a medium tempoed Swing chart featuring solos for tenor saxophone, trumpet, trombone and piano. There are lots of great ensemble passages and rhythmic hits in the brass. And the saxophones have their time in the spotlight. Classic Basie! 5-4-3-4 (w/opt. 4th trombone).

WIND MACHINE Arranged by Sammy Nestico Difficult $50.00 Cat: 7210970 This up-tempo chart from the Count Basie library features a tenor sax solo.

Cat: 2530

AS PLAYED BY LOUIE BELLSON SKIN DEEP Transcribed by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-1070 A great swing chart from the pen of Louis Bellson, this opens with a big half-time fanfare and then breaks into up-tempo swing. The saxes lead the first chorus and the brass are loud and punchy. With some great unison runs and trombone passages, the drums drive this number. There are four drum solo passages, with the last one being as long as you like. It leads the band into a huge climactic finish.

AS PERFORMED BY LES BROWN BIZET HAS HIS DAY Arranged by Bob Martin Medium Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-99977 Made famous by the Les Brown Orchestra, this tune is one in a series of numbers where a classical theme is given the swing treatment. From a piano opening phrase, echoed by trombones, the lower saxes enter with the fugue, the altos vary it, and trumpets are layered on top, to arrive at the tutti swing phrase. Solos for Alto 2, Trombone 2 and Piano. Lead alto doubles clarinet, Baritone doubles alto. Lead trumpet to high C. A moderately easy chart and really effective in any band library.

LEAP FROG Arranged by Myles Collins Medium Easy $65.00 Cat: LL-1115 One of the more famous tunes from the Les Brown Orchestra, Leap Frog is one of those charts that gets feet tapping and dancers dancing. It simply bounces from start to finish. Technically, this is a straightforward chart to perform, and we have written out the four sax cameo solos (one each for Alto 1 on Clari, Alto 2 and both Tenors) and also the drum part complete with the little fills and licks that help power the chart along. There are also two short ad lib drum solos, taken mostly on the snare. If you play to a swing dance crowd they will lap this up!

BOBBY DARIN/TOMMY DORSEY SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY

***NEW*** [VOCAL]

As Performed by Doris Day with Les Brown Arranged by Bob Martin Easy $65.00 Cat: LL-2039 Co-written by Les Brown for his own Orchestra, this was a great hit for Doris Day, and this version remains as the definitive standard for the tune. It has to be played bluesy, laid back, softly and not too fast! The brass lines at the end of the first chorus emphasise the ‘drag’ and the tenor solo behind the vocal re-enforces the lazy feel. Key of A, the range is from A below, to B above middle C. Lead alto doubles clarinet.

AS PERFORMED BY BOBBY DARIN BEYOND THE SEA

[VOCAL]

Arranged by Myles Collins Medium Easy $65.00 Cat: LL-2119 Bobby Darin had a big hit with this tune, and other singers hae also covered it very successfully. We have transcribed the Darin chart here, except that there are no strings in our version. Instead we have given the relevant lines to the saxes, adapting the phrasing to improve the swing. The vocal is as per Bobby Darin’s delivery, and we have also included an optional repeat at the end of the chart, to extend the play out, plus have written a definite ending, because the recorded version fades, and fade-outs are not good for live perfomances! There are no sax doubles. Apart from the lead trumpet having to reach a written high D# the brass parts are not demanding, and the chart will be a certain crowd pleaser. Vocal key F.

CLEMENTINE

[VOCAL]

Arranged by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-99409 Clementine is simply great fun. This Bobby Darin version is in a similar style to his more well known Mack the Knife, with successive half-step modulations, and a band backing that builds and builds to a huge finish. We have accurately notated Bobby’s vocal line and phrasing, and written the rhythm parts as-played, where they are most important to the feel of the chart. No sax doubles.Vocal Keys: E flat to A flat.

AS PERFORMED BY TOMMY DORSEY BIRMINGHAM BOUNCE

[VOCAL]

Arranged by Myles Collins Medium Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-2416 This is a post-war chart from Dorsey, featuring the singing and trumpet of Charlie Shavers. This is a very good dance chart and it has a lot of nice features - vocal stops, hand claps, powerful ensemble passages, a solo spot for tenor and some screaming trumpet licks too. As the name suggests, this chart really bounces along. We have rated it medium difficult, as the trumpet soloist has a written high F and the trombones need to reach Bb. Birmingham Bounce is a refreshing change to the usual vocal fare. The key is Eb and would suit a high baritone or an alto.

EASY DOES IT Transcribed by Myles Collins Medium Easy $65.00 Cat: LL-1114 This is another classic but underplayed chart from Dorsey, written by Sy Oliver. This chart is a medium tempo swing chart with a 2-beat feel that dancers might describe as a Shag. It glides along if taken at the right tempo. The chart features your lead trombone and tenor 1. The trombone lead is cross-cued onto the 3rd trumpet part, should the range prove too high for your player, and we have transcribed fully the original tenor solo, though he/she can improvise. Both altos double clarinets.

I’M GETTING SENTIMENTAL OVER YOU Transcribed by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-99993 This is the theme tune for the Dorsey Band, and perhaps the definitive solo vehicle for trombone, where the melody brings out the best of the instrument. This arrangement is true to the original, with the solo part written on 1st trombone, excepting that the sax backings are not taken on full section clarinet doubles (including bass clarinet), but have reverted back to standard sax section voicing to avoid awkward, and nearly impossibly quick changing of instruments. There is a solo trumpet part that is a duplicate of the trombone solo.

74

LOOSE LID SPECIAL Transcribed by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-22250 In many ways this Sy Oliver chart written for Dorsey was ahead of its time, with its floating tonality and dissonant voicings. It has an almost ethereal feel to it, with huge contrasts in dynamics throughout the chart. All original solos have been written out (trombone-Dorsey and trumpet-Elman), and have notated the drum part in full, with all the little licks and fills needed to recreate the original. The trombone solo is also cross cued onto the 3rd trumpet part, should your player not be able to reach a high C. There are no sax doubles and the chart has been re-scored to 8 brass.

THE MINOR GOES MUGGIN’

***NEW***

Arranged by Myles Collins Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-1133 The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra is most often remembered for a lush trombone sound, the band also produced some extraordinarily powerful swing numbers, and not many were better than this one. Written by the great Sy Oliver, this quick minor swing chart is raw, raunchy, powerful and full of surprises. It features your lead trombone, 2nd alto, 2nd trumpet, 1st tenor and piano. All original solos have been written out. The only sax double is 2nd alto on clarinet for the last 2 bars. All trumpets hit high C, and all trombones hit high Bb.

ON THE SUNNY SIDE OF THE STREET Arranged by Myles Collins Medium Easy $65.00 Cat: LL-23223 Made famous by the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, this instrumental version of Sunny Side of the Street is taken from the vocal version. The form and structure is based on the original Dorsey version, including the unique intro, where we have written out the bass ‘solo’and piano fills too. The lead trumpet range in the last bar goes to a high F, but we’ve cued alternative notes which keep the range here to top C#. No sax doubles, and the brass ranges are moderate. The saxes take the ‘vocal’chorus, backed by trombones and trumpets. Vocal version cat: LL-23223V.

OPUS ONE Transcribed by Myles Collins Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-99960 Another classic from the pen of Sy Oliver, and a famous tune for the Dorsey band, though much copied and adapted by other bands. Anita O ’Day recorded a vocal version with Gene Krupa, and Ted Heath used it as a stock chart. This is as per the original, though it lacks the strings used by Dorsey in the original arrangement. String parts can be provided on request. Both alto saxes double clarinet (for the great middle passage of clarinets over a pair of muted trumpets), and the lead alto takes both clarinet solos, which we have written out. Likewise, the piano solo is written out too. This is a medium to advanced chart in terms of difficulty. By far the trickiest bit is the semi quaver, semitonal sax run which introduces the key change into the last chorus. Nimble fingers are needed!

SONG OF INDIA Transcribed by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-1085 This Dorsey classic is another great solo spot for trombone. Based on a tune by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, the original arrangement was by Tommy Dorsey himself. A well known piece, Song of India was originally scored for just 6 brass. We have augmented the chart to a full section of 8 brass. The trombone and trumpet solos are written out in full, though your 2nd trumpet player can improvise a solo from the chords given. This arrangement sounds like the original article, and includes the clarinets (altos 1 and 2) scored in the intro. All dynamics and articulations are given, and these are particularly important to give the chart its correct feel. We have rated this as a medium difficulty chart, though the 1st trombone does go to high C.

SWANEE RIVER Transcribed by Alan Glasscock Medium Easy $65.00 Cat: LL-1232 This Dorsey classic is based on a 1944 version, when the Dorsey band was at its height. The arrangement went on to be used by the later Dorsey band under the direction of Warren Covington. It is longer than earlier versions, and also longer than the stock chart, with additional solo space for trumpet and tenor sax. The backgrounds and fill-ins are complete, as are all of the dynamics and mute/hat indications for the brass. We have included the famous Ziggy Elman trumpet solo which forms the first half of the trumpet’s solo space.

T.D.’S BOOGIE WOOGIE

***NEW***

Transcribed by Alan Glasscock Advanced $65.00 Cat: LL-1197 Tommy Dorsey first recorded a version of Clarence Smith’s Boogie Woogie in the late 1930s. This chart is not it. It’s his much better effort which is known as T.D.’s Boogie Woogie, and is an excellent development of the original, featuring piano. The piano part has been written out in full, and be warned, it is not easy. We have also written out T.D.’s closing trombone solo. This chart takes great sectional and ensemble discipline to make it sound right, so your players will need to be on top form. Both altos and both tenors double clarinet.

WELL GET IT Transcribed by Myles Collins Advanced $65.00 Cat: LL-99956 Sy Oliver wrote a number of memorable charts for the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, such as Opus One and Swanee River. However, Well Get It is one of his finest, and yet not best known. A thumping swing chart that features first and second trumpet in a great duet near the end, and also including the original (written out) solos for trombone, clarinet and tenor. If you play to a jive or jitterbug crowd they will love this. Be warned though: it is a tough blow for the trumpets. The lead range is to high G and the second to high D. Second alto takes the clarinet double.

PERDIDO Transcribed by Klauss Lessmann Easy $65.00 Cat: LL-1158 Perdido was one of Duke Ellington’s early big hits. Many arrangements have been made of this chart over the years - lots of them at a flat out tempo. The Duke’s version is a very laid-back swinger that chugs along in a steady groove. The chart opens with a cameo piano solo, the baritone saxophone picks up the tune and improvises on the repeat, with the brass plunger figures pulsing away behind it. The middle 8 is taken as a Trumpet solo (written out) and on it goes! This chart is a solo feature for tenor 2 and trumpet, as both have improvised solos, and there is a lovely example in the last chorus of the sort of instrumental voicings for which the Ellington band was later so famous. Tenor 1 doubles clarinet and there are no other sax doubles.

SWEETIE PIE (PRO VERSION) Arranged by Don Sebesky Advanced $42.00 Cat: SMP-403 This wonderful, quiet, ‘Li’l Darlin-ish’ chart was recorded by Maynard as ‘Easy Chair.’ It has a great melodic and harmonic sense that puts it in a class all its own. This version is the original version, with flute and clarinet doubles and roaring trumpets.

WHISPER NOT Arranged by Michael Abene Difficult $52.00 Cat: SMP-414 The Maynard Ferguson Band recorded this on their ‘Come Blow Your Horn’ LP. The chart is an excellent example of Abene’s very musical approach to this great Benny Golson jazz standard. Very reasonable ranges throughout. Destined to be a bestseller!! Printed as originally scored (4-4-2-3), but including extra parts for a standard 5-4-4-4 instrumentation.

[VOCAL]

Arranged by Klaus Lessman Easy $65.00 Cat: LL-2032 A Tisket A Tasket was a hit for Ella Fitzgerald during her time with the Chick Webb band, and remains one of her most memorable charts. Klaus Lessmann has produced a classy transcription of this chart and had adapted it for a full band line-up. Everything is here, including the band answer-back vocals. Both the sax and the brass sections get to have a go! All articulations are clearly marked and the vocal sheet is as per Ella’s performance. Key of A flat.

MAYNARD FERGUSON/ELLA FITZGERALD I SAID NO

***NEW***

[VOCAL]

Arranged by Jon Harpin Medium Easy $65.00 Cat: LL-2145 This version is from Ella Fitzgerald’s 1966 album ‘Whisper Not,’ with the original arrangements all by Marty Paich. Opening with a short Colla Voce, the chart moves smoothly into a relaxed balladic swing, with subtle backings from the band throughout. A rhythmically interesting bridge leads to the half-step up modulation with muted trumpet infills. A change to a more bluesy feel follows and the swing increases, with the bass now walking and the drummer using sticks. The improvised muted trumpet backings continue through the second half of the chart, which builds to punchy climax. We have written out the vocal lines in full, and the piano part contains all of the important licks and fills too. The vocal keys are G and Ab.

I’VE GOT MY LOVE TO KEEP ME WARM

[VOCAL]

Transcribed by Alan Glasscock Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-99507 A classic from Ella Fitzgerald, this chart is a faithful transcription of her version, and is nothing at all like the Les Brown / Skippy Martin instrumental version. We have even written out Ella’s vocal line so your singer can reproduce the timing and phrasing if she wants. This chart is also a Trumpet feature, and the original solo is fully notated on the 2nd part. There are no sax doubles. Key of B flat.

NIGHT AND DAY

[VOCAL]

Arranged by Myles Collins Easy $65.00 Cat: LL-99970 A classic Cole Porter song from 1932, Night and Day was a must-have number for the great big bands of the era. This version is based on that used by Ella Fitzgerald, and is a good example how to score the band to best support the vocalist. The arrangement includes the vocal verse, backed by a solo tom-tom, leading into the tutti chorus. This is very easy to play, though this in no way detracts from its effectiveness in performance. If you have a pianist who has a light touch, then added fills behind the vocalist really set this number off. Vocal key: Ab

THAT OLD BLACK MAGIC Arranged by Jon Harpin Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-2124 Here is her finest version, from the 1960 Billy May collaboration album ‘Sings the Harold Arlen Songbook.’ This chart is just great all the way through, from the almost Phrygian opening into the relatively reserved first chorus, the blasting band chorus (including the fully written out tenor solo), Ella’s more fluid second vocal chorus (also written out in full), the implied repeat to fade and the punch finish. This chart is simply a must have for any big band library. The vocal key is Bb.

TIME AFTER TIME Transcribed by Jon Harpin Easy $65.00 Cat: LL-2110 This version was originally arranged by Marty Paich and recorded by Ella Fitzgerald on her Whisper Not album. This version is a transcription of this version, including the short verse intro and Ella’s vocal line in full. The chart is an easy yet rewarding one for the band to play, and a chance to show off your girl vocalist’s skills. The brass ranges are very moderate, with lead tumpet only getting to top line F, though your pianist will need to improvise some fills behind the vocal. The middle chorus Tenor solo is improvised, and we have written in the melody lead line and chords onto the part. The vocal keys are G and Ab. No sax doubles. The 4th trombone is Bass.

AS PERFORMED BY BENNY GOODMAN AMAPOLA

[VOCAL]

Arranged by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-94440 This is the Benny Goodman version of Amapola, with Helen Forrest taking the vocal. A delightful tune, well delivered, and of course with a clarinet solo from the great man himself. This chart is as per the original version, and we have scored the saxes AATT plus a clarinet solo part. The trick with this chart is not to play it too fast. It just chugs along and swings all the way. Vocal Key: F

AND THE ANGELS SING

[VOCAL]

Arranged by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-99979 Another classic from the Goodman Orchestra, written by trumpeter Ziggy Elman. In the original arrangement the vocal chorus led to a typical Goodman ‘Yiddish’ trumpet chorus. In our arrangement this is replaced by a more conventional trumpet solo chorus and ‘middle 8’, with the vocal returning to close. The ending is as per the original, with a trumpet solo leading the band to a rousing finale. Vocal Key: Bb

BEI MIR BIST DU SCHOEN Arranged by Myles Collins Easy $65.00 Cat: LL-1007 The Goodman orchestra performed a similar vocal version of this chart at the Carnegie Hall concert, with Martha Tilton the featured vocalist.This is an instrumental version of the chart offered in our vocals section, but with more punch and swing to the second chorus. Lead alto doubles clarinet. Also available as VOCAL.

BIG JOHN’S SPECIAL Arranged by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-1201 This is a romping swing chart from the early years of the Goodman Orchestra, when much of his success came courtesy of Fletcher Henderson’s arrangements. The chart has been expanded to 8 brass, and because the chart is not a clarinet feature (it only has an 8 measure solo) the saxes have been scored for a regular AATTB section, with alto 2 doubling the clarinet solo. The trumpet solos have been written out and the piano solo in stride style.

CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS

***NEW***

Arranged by Myles Collins Medium Easy $65.00 Cat: LL-1154 The Goodman original has been adapted here to suit an 8 brass line-up, and all of the original solos have been transcribed (clarinet, trombone & trumpet), though your players can improvise. The brass ranges are fairly moderate, making the chart playable by bands of all abilities. The saxes are scored for clarinet, 2 altos & 2 tenors.

CLARINADE

***NEW***

Arranged by Myles Collins Advanced $65.00 Cat: LL-1208 The chart is full of rich, flowing texture and has a superb harmonic structure, yet is still a thumping swing number. Aside from an 8 measure piano solo, the chart is an out and out clarinet feature. However, it is not easy. Your clarinet player will need to be very nimble fingered to get it right, as playing in the keys of E and F# at 240 bpm is quite a challenge, and the band will need to be tight and have good intonation too. The arrangement is scored for 8 brass and 5 reeds (clarinet, alto, 2 tenors and baritone). Tenor 1 doubles clarinet.

CLARINET A LA KING Arranged by Myles Collins Advanced $65.00 Cat: LL-1141 A fabulous chart from the Goodman band of the early ‘40s, and, quite naturally, a clarinet feature. The chart is harmonically very innovative, and shows glimpses of the sort of writing that Eddie Sauter produced later on in. This is quite a hard chart to play, but very rewarding once your players have it right, and a fine addition to the Goodman corner of your band library. The clarinet and piano solos are written out in full, and all dynamics and articulations have been included on all the parts, because this is one chart that simply won’t work if played at the same volume throughout! We have augmented the brass to 4 + 4 and the reeds are scored C/A/T/T/B. There are a couple of quick sax doubles - baritone on alto and 2nd alto on on clarinet.

82

DON’T BE THAT WAY Arranged by Myles Collins Medium Easy $65.00 Cat: LL-1171 One of the all-time classic charts from the Benny Goodman book. The original has been modified to suit 8 brass, and have written out the original clarinet, trumpet & trombone solos in full, as well as including an optional trumpet soli instead of just the trumpet solo, should you want to show off the section a bit. Reeds are scored for clarinet, 2 altos and 2 tenors, and there are no sax doubles.

DOWN SOUTH CAMP MEETING

***NEW***

Transcribed by Douglas Rust Difficult $60.00 Cat: 7011003 Based on the Benny Goodman 1936 version of this jumpin’ Fletcher Henderson tune, this authentic edition features swingin’ choruses for every section, a transcription of Benny’s clarinet solo, and the distinctive 5 clarinet chorus at the end (opt. sax substitutions included). A true classic from the big band era, this up tempo swinger builds with intensity from beginning to end!

GOODBYE Arranged by Myles Collins Medium Easy $65.00 Cat: LL-1185 Goodbye was Benny Goodman’s closing theme. A slow, hauntingly beautiful composition from Gordon Jenkins, rich in musical colour and tonality and a fine testament to Benny. We have faithfully reproduced the original here, though have expanded the brass to a full 4/4 section to suit a standard big band line-up. The chart features clarinet and 2nd trumpet, with some cameo spots for baritone & guitar and plenty of flowing piano runs. The reeds are scored for clarinet, alto, 2 tenors and baritone. Not a difficult chart to play, but plenty of dynamic discipline is required to make it sound right.

JAM SESSION

***NEW***

Arranged by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-1148 Written by Jimmy Mundy for the Benny Goodman Orchestra shortly after he joined as a staff arranger, Jam Session is an up-tempo swing chart with solo space for tenor, clarinet and trumpet. The arrangement starts in two beat style for the first chorus, and then switches to four beat swing to the end of the piece. This chart has been adapted to 8 brass from the original 5, and because it is not a clarinet feature the saxes have been scored AAATT, with the 2nd alto taking the clarinet solo. All solos are fully transcribed, though your players can improvise from the chords provided.

JERSEY BOUNCE Transcribed by Alan Glasscock Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-99403 Many bands played Jersey Bounce, and the two versions most remembered are those from the Miller and Goodman Orchestras. This is the Benny Goodman version, meticulously transcribed by Alan Glasscock. For us it is the more interesting version of the two. Mel Powell’s harmonics and phrasing in the piano solo (fully written out, including the super-fast runs) were really ahead of their time. The other three solo spots are all here too, written for tenor 1, trombone 2 and of course solo clarinet. In this recorded version Goodman had the luxury of a complete sax section of AATTB, plus Goodman himself. We recognize that not many bands have six saxes, but rest assured that the chart works equally well played with CAATT. Not too fast!

KING PORTER STOMP Transcribed by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-1101 Here is the rousing King Porter Stomp, the Fletcher Henderson arrangement for Benny Goodman, featuring solos for trumpet, trombone and clarinet. All original solos have been written out, including Benny’s extended clarinet solo, though the chords are included for improvisation. This chart is written for clarinet, 2 altos, 2 tenors and is has been augmented up to 8 brass, from the original 5. This is a fine chart from the time when the Goodman band regularly topped the polls and Benny was ‘King of Swing’. Technically not too demanding for the band but precision with the articulations and phrasing is needed if you wish to reproduce the authentic feel.

LET’S DANCE Transcribed by Bob Martin Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-99971 Benny Goodman’s famous opening number has been faithfully re-created by Bob Martin and comes complete with the original clarinet and alto solos fully written out. This arrangement is scored for 8 brass, though we have included an optional 5th trumpet part too. The saxes are scored for 2 altos, 2 tenors and the clarinet lead.

LIFE GOES TO A PARTY

***NEW***

Arranged by Myles Collins Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-1192 Co-written by Benny Goodman & Harry James, this is a pulsating, energetic and quick minor swing chart.The Goodman band recorded this tune on several occasions, the first in 1937, then again in 1938. The ’37 chart was used as the model for this arrangement. A couple of small modifications have been made: the brass has been augmented to 8 voices and the tempo indication has been slowed to 240 (from 280) to match the tempo of the ’38 chart. The solos are written out in full (clarinet, trumpet, tenor and piano) and the saxes are scored for CAATT.

PAGANINI CAPRICE XXIV

***NEW***

Arranged by Myles Collins Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-1214 In 1941 Skippy Martin took the 24th of Niccolo Paganini’s caprices for solo violin, and turned it into a big swinging chart for Benny Goodman. The original has been adapted and expanded, scoring it for a regular AATTB sax team, and 8 Brass. Your alto 2 player doubles clarinet, and has the entire Benny Goodman solo written out. Tenor 1 takes the Vido Musso solo, and the Mel Powell piano solo is also fully scored. This is a VERY rare chart from the Goodman era, and a fine addition to any library.

ROLL ‘EM Arranged by Alan Glasscock Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-2102 Roll ‘Em was a hugely popular number for the Goodman band, and its infectious boogie feel will have dancers flocking to the the floor. Our version is true to the Goodman original, with a couple of modifiactions. The brass has been augmented up to 8 and the piano solo passage has been written in conventional 12-bar form, rather than a mix of 12 and 10 found in the original. Whilst the piano solo is ad-lib, the other solos (clarinet & trumpet) are fully written out, though your players can improvise from the chords provided if they prefer. Alan Glasscock has done a teriffic job with this chart, and the articulations and phrasing marks on the parts will enable your players to produce an authentic sound. The reeds are written for clarinet, 2 altos & 2 tenors, with no sax doubles.

SING SING SING (PART 1) Arranged by Myles Collins Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-99969 Possibly the most famous number from the Benny Goodman Orchestra, this recreation is true to the original, in the original key and with all of the original licks. The only concession that we have made is to augment the brass from 5 to 8. The saxes are scored for clarinet, 2 altos and 2 tenors. This chart makes a stunning opening number, or a great drum feature for all aspiring Krupas.

SOFT WINDS Arranged by Michael Sweeney Medium Easy $35.00 Cat: 7010728 This jazz classic adapts perfectly for young players. The tempo is moderate and the swing figures are easy to play. The blues form makes it easy for inexperienced improvisers and sample solos are included for alto, tenor, trumpet, and piano.

STEALIN’ APPLES Transcribed by Alan Glasscock Advanced $65.00 Cat: LL-1017 An absolutely storming chart from the Benny Goodman Orchestra. Goodman made several takes of this tune, before deciding on which version to issue on record. The chart was rather lengthy in its original form, and had to be pared down in order to fit onto one side of a 78-rpm record. Alan Glasscock has reconstructed the chart with all of the intended choruses intact, as originally scored by Fletcher Henderson. All of the solos are written out (piano-a full 32 bars, trumpet and clarinet) and the dynamics and articulations are meticulously accurate. The saxes are scored for clarinet, 2 altos, 2 tenors and the brass goes from the original 5 to a full section of 8.

STOMPIN’ AT THE SAVOY Arranged by Myles Collins Medium Easy $65.00 Cat: LL-1155 Here is Benny Goodman’s timeless classic in all its glory. Many bands performed versions of this song, but the Goodman Orchestra’s rendition remains the standard by which all others are judged. The saxes are scored for clarinet, 2 altos & 2 tenors. We have augmented the brass up to a full 8 from the original 5. All of the original solos (clarinet, tenor & trombone) are fully transcribed, though your players can improvise from the chords if they prefer. The piano part is written on 4 beat style and the drum part is notated as per the original, though you may prefer to have him play a more swingy hi-hat style if you wish to push the feel a little.

GOODMAN/GLEN GRAY/TED HEATH WHY DON’TYOU DO RIGHT

***NEW***[VOCAL]

Transcribed by Myles Collins Medium Easy $65.00 Cat: LL-2081 This version was recorded in 1942 by Peggy Lee during her stay with the Benny Goodman band. Goodman’s chart has been faithfully transcribed here, including all of the clarinet licks and solos, but the brass has been expanded from the original 6 up to 8. The sax parts are written for solo clarinet, alto, 2 tenors & baritone though an an extra alto sax part (the tenor 1 part, written for alto) is included to give you a bit more flexibility in the section. The brass ranges are very moderate, and aside from the clarinet solos there are no surprises, so the chart is very playable.

AS PLAYED BY GLEN GRAY NO NAME JIVE Transcribed by Myles Collins Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-99997 This is simply a great up-tempo jump jive number, made famous by Glen Gray, and to the best of our knowledge has never been published before, anywhere. If your band plays to a dance crowd then this arrangement is an absolute must have. No Name Jive is a huge six and a half minutes long, and drives from beginning to end. Technically it’s not difficult, though the band needs to be tight and crisp in order to achieve the relaxed feel that makes the number work so well. There are some instrument doubles: saxes 1, 2 and 3 all double clarinet, and the baritone doubles alto. Lead alto also needs a soprano if your alto 2 can’t hit high F# and A. All solos are written out as exact transcriptions of the original, though players may improvise if they wish. The second trumpet takes two solos and both are cross-cued on the lead part.

AS PERFORMED BY TED HEATH 12TH STREET RAG

***NEW***

Arranged by Myles Collins Advanced $65.00 Cat: LL-1170 12th Street Rag as you never imagined! This chart was written for the Ted Heath band, and goes way way beyond the original Bowman concept. The chart opens by imitating traffic along 12th Street, in a series of dissonant hoots before the band kicks in with the real intro. The chart is full of contrasting elements and color, and uses a dixie band-in-band on 3 occasions, each section being in a different historical style - ‘20s, ‘40s and ‘60s. Interspersed whith these are some blasting tutti passages, some deliberately corny solo work in street busker style and a screaming finale. The whole piece goes through 5 modulations, building all the time.This is a very challenging chart with some tough asks in all sections. Both altos and tenors double clarinet, and the bari doubles alto for the solo (can be played on bari instead). If your band is brave enough to take on the challenge they will not be disappointed.

AUTUMN LEAVES

***NEW***

Arranged by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-1168 A superb example of ensemble playing from the Ted Heath book. This version is not written as a slow ballad, but is a grooving mid-tempo swing chart that packs plenty of punch. The chart relies on some tight section work from the brass, and strict adherance to the written dynamics in order to deliver the right feel. At just over 2 minutes it is not a long chart, but it is certainly a memorable one. There are no sax doubles, and apart from trumpets 1 and 2 reaching high E, the ranges are fine.

DARKTOWN STRUTTERS BALL Arranged by Myles Collins Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-1202 This version is a transcription of the Ken Moule chart which was written for the Ted Heath Orchestra. It is two minutes of pure joy, featuring some great tutti passages, and a dixieland chorus too. The Dixie trio is ad-lib, and is written for your 1st trumpet, 1st trombone and clarinet. The clarinet also features with a solo following the Dixie passage. The sax section has a slightly unusual make-up, being written for clarinet, soprano, alto, tenor and baritone, though also included is an extra tenor part (a transposition of the alto part) to give you more flexibility.

TED HEATH/WOODY HERMAN HEADING NORTH Transcribed by Myles Collins Medium Easy $65.00 Cat: LL-1081 A rare and unusual song from the Ted Heath book, Heading North is a 1957 composition and is a medium tempo (at 130 bpm) minor blues chart. It kicks off with a solo piano 12 bar lick (written), joined after by unison bones with sax answerbacks. Saxes then take the soli, answered by the trombones leading to a 24 bar muted trumpet solo (chord-based scored on all 4 trumpet parts) with sax and bone backing figures. Piano comes back in and the chart finishes off with a big tutti shout chorus. This is a fairly straightforward chart to play. Other than that the ranges are moderate and the chart is very playable. No sax doubles.

HOT TODDY

***NEW***

Arranged by Myles Collins Medium Easy $65.00 LL-1227 This wonderful version is from the Ted Heath band, and features your baritone player and second trumpet. The chart opens with a rumbling bari line backed by hand claps from the band. The trombone section takes the first soli, the saxes join for the second, backed by the trumpets who then give a run-up to the muted trumpet solo. This trumpet solo is written out as originally played, though your player can improvise. The chart builds from here, with glissing trombones against a unison sax repeat of the melody riff leading into a big brass soli, and finishing up with a fading trombone soli down to pianissimo, and a band blast to finish. Great fun and a real crowd pleaser too.

JA-DA Transcribed by Myles Collins Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-1187 Bob Carleton penned a little 16-bar tune in 1918, whilst still a club pianinst in Illinois. The tune was briefly famous, then spent 35 years in obscurity until Sonny Rollins ‘reinvented it’ using the Ja-Da chords for his composition ‘Doxy’ in 1954, and the jazz world took to it. In 1958 Ted Heath’s orchestra recorded the arrangement of Ja-Da that we offer here, transcribed from the original Ken Moule chart. The rhythm parts are all chord based, the improvised solo is written on tenor 1 and there are no sax doubles. We have graded it as difficult, not because the chart is hard, but because the lead trumpet has to hit high E (and optional high G).

LINCOLNSHIRE POACHER Arranged by Jon Harpin Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-1157 This is a traditional English song, given the full swing treatment by the Ted Heath band. This chart is up, bouncy and always a crowd pleaser. The chart itself is very straight ahead, though the lead trombone does go up to high C briefly. There is a solo spot for tenor sax (chords also cued on the tenor 2 part). No sax doubles.

LULLABY OF BIRDLAND Transcribed by Mogens Hobel Medium Easy $65.00 Cat: LL-22410 This chart has been transcribed from the Ted Heath book by Mogens Hobel. The original Reg Owen arrangement was one of Heath’s most requested tunes, and as well as containing some lovely ensemble writing it gives solo opportunities to your pianist and lead tenor. The chart is typical of many of Heath’s numbers - a mix of subtlety and raw power, light and shade. An excellent tune for dancing or for concert work. Both altos double clarinet, and trumpets 1 & 2 reach a brief high D, though the chart is not generally demanding on your brass players’ chops.

MANHATTAN SPIRITUAL Transcribed by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-2402 This is a wonderfully uplifting swing chart, as its name might suggest. Originally scored in the late ‘50s by Reg Owen, this chart was also a feature for Owen’s own outfit, and that of Jack Parnell too. The arrangement starts and ends with a choralestyle fanfare, and swings like crazy in between. Plenty of hand claps from all sections of the band add to the rousing nature. We have scored this chart for a regular big band and a timpanist, though the timp notes are cued onto the piano and drum parts and the chart works equally well without the kettles. The last few bars are a bit of a scream for the trumpets (with lead up to high F and second to high D) but the section can be taken down an octave if need be. Both altos double clarinets.

MEMORIES OF YOU Arranged by Myles Collins Advanced $65.00 Cat: LL-1188 Once in a while there comes along a chart which just makes you want to listen and weep with joy. This Ted Heath version of Memories of You is one of them. A fabulous feature for two trumpets, the arrangement is full of lush backings and builds from a relatively quiet opening, through two key changes to a flat out finale which soars ever higher and higher. Simply stunning. We have rated this chart as advanced because of the demands on the trumpet soloists. The 2nd is written to high F, and the 1st to high G. Apart from that, the other band parts are straightforward. Lead alto doubles clarinet, and there are no other sax doubles.

OL’ MAN RIVER

***NEW***

Transcribed by Myles Collins Advanced $65.00 Cat: LL-1207 Transcribed from the original Johnny Keating chart, this is an absolute screamer of a chart, from the time when the Ted Heath band was at its height. Heath recorded two slightly different versions of the chart, the only difference being that the ‘Palladium Revisited’ chart kicks off in G before modulating to Bb then Ab, whilst the ‘Kern for Moderns’ version starts in Bb. This is the Palladium version. This is a fast, tough chart, particularly for the brass. Lead trumpet (Bobby Pratt) hits high G, and 2nd trumpet high F. Trombones 3 & 4 need to reach high Bb, with 1 & 2 reaching C. It is not for the faint hearted. The trumpet solo is improvised, and written on the 2nd part. The piano, bass & guitar parts are from chords. It is a showstopper if you can pull it off! There are no sax doubles.

STAR DUST Arranged by Bob Martin Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-22411 Star Dust is one of the great Hoagy Carmichael tunes, and deserves a place in the library of every band. Bob Martin has done a truly excellent job of transcription and modification of this Ted Heath version, which is a two-trumpet feature from start to finish. The key change in the middle of the piece has been brought down a fourth from the original, bringing it into the range of most players. A rich, big chart.

SWINGIN’ SHEPHERD BLUES Transcribed by Myles Collins Medium Easy $65.00 Cat: LL-99402 This version of Swingin’Shepherd Blues is transcribed from a Ted Heath recording. Unusual for a swing chart the tempo is pretty slow, but very effective nonetheless. This chart is a real contrast of dynamics, because it alternates from one or two reeds plus rhythm, to tutti fortissimo and back again. This arrangement makes a great concert piece and is equally suitable for strict tempo dancing. Lead alto is on soprano sax throughout, and 2nd alto is on clarinet throughout.

AS PERFORMED BY WOODY HERMAN FOUR BROTHERS

***NEW***

Arranged by Jimmy Guiffre Medium Difficult $45.00 Cat:7009276 Here is the famous Woody Herman signature tune. This fabulous chart features the entire saxophone section. Woody Herman’s clarinet solo has been written out here, though your clarinet player can improvise his/her own solo.

HALLELUJAH TIME Transcribed by Myles Collins Advanced $65.00 Cat: LL-99992 This is a great up-tempo swinger. It starts with a solo hi-hat opening with off-beat tutti accompanying phrases, leading into the first chorus of saxes voiced in thirds, a brass middle 8, and re-statement of the sax theme. From then on it is a rip-roaring two saxophone (alto 2 and tenor 1) solo chase with occasional punchy brass figures backing the soloists. The solo space gets ever compacted, going from 16 to 8, 4 and then 2 bar interchange sequences, until just when it feels that they will collide, the band is back with the opening chorus, into a frenzied coda and finish. Needless to say, if you have a couple of sax players to show off, this is the vehicle. This piece is advanced not because of the tempo or the difficulty of the notes (both are quite straightforward once the band has the feel of the arrangement) it is because it depends heavily on having 2 good sax soloists who are comfortable at speed, and who can work off each other.

HAPPINESS IS A ***NEW*** THING CALLED JOE

[VOCAL]

Transcribed by Alan Glasscock Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-2131 Transcribed from Ralph Burns’ original chart written for Frances Wayne / Woody Herman, Happiness is a Thing Called Joe is a lush swing ballad for female vocal. The chart has been adapted to suit a standard line-up with a regular sax section, though Woody’s clarinet line is taken by alto 1 on clarinet throughout. The other saxes are ATTB. There is a fair bit of unison muted trumpet work in this chart, so intonation needs to be good. Also the 1st trumpet is written to high G in the bridge, but this is cross-cued onto the clarinet part if your lead can’t reach this high.The short piano solo intro is written out, as is the vocal line sung by Frances Wayne. The vocal key is G.

THE JAZZ ME BLUES Transcribed by Bob Martin Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-1234 This is pure Woody Herman, and a great transcription by Bob Martin of the original Nat Pierce chart. The Jazz Me Blues is an old Dixieland tune of the 1920s, and this arrangement lifts it into a new sphere altogether. Written in the Four Brothers style, it is scored for three tenors, baritone and clarinet (though we include duplicate parts for alto sax, making it playable by a standard section line-up), with solos for clarinet, tenor and trombone.

THAT’S WHERE IT IS Arranged by Bob Martin Advanced $65.00 Cat: LL-1233 A ripsnorter of a number, based on the original Woody Herman version. A brief punchy start introduces a piano solo - a real opportunity for your pianist to show off a little. The sequence is repeated, and then the band’s in, with saxes taking the tune and brass backing. Solos for tenor and trumpet, followed by a very fluid and yet punchy tutti passage, leading to a re-statement of the theme and tight ending. Bob’s chart is written for 5 trumpets, but is equally playable with 4. Although it is a fast number it’s not that hard, once you’ve got your fingers round it!

WOODCHOPPER’S BALL Arranged by Myles Collins Medium Easy $65.00 Cat: LL-1160 Here is the great Woodchopper’s Ball. Co-written and first performed by Woody Herman, this chart became a mainstay in the repertoire of all Herman’s bands. Our version is based on Woody’s, though re-scored for regular sections (saxes AATTB, 8 brass). This arrangement features solo space for clarinet (on 1st alto part), tenor, trumpet and trombone, and has that characteristic chromatic set of key changes at the end that gives the whole chart a thumping climax.

AS PERFORMED BY HARRY JAMES B-19

***NEW***

Arranged by Myles Collins Difficult $65.00 Cat:1204 B-19 is a driving swing number, clearly taking some influences from tunes such as Sing Sing Sing and Bizet Has His Day. The chart has a raw and angry feel about it, as one might expect from a tune whose name is that of a famous aircraft. Being a Harry James chart there is naturally a big solo spot for trumpet (James’ chorus is fully written out on the 2nd trumpet part), and the tenor solo has been transcribed as well. The original was recorded by James with a string section. However, the arrangement has been modified; the string part has been written back into the saxes, and given a solo spot to 1st trombone. This maintains the integrity of the original and makes for a more readily playable chart. The ranges for the other brass are moderate. There are no sax doubles.

CHERRY Transcribed by Alan Glasscock Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-99405 Cherry is a classic from the Harry James Orchestra and a great chart for showcasing one of your trumpet players. The original arrangement was done with strings, but we have replaced the string lines with saxes, to make the chart playable by a regular line-up. All of the solos (for trumpet, trombone and alto) are fully written out, though we have included the chords should your players wish to improvise. This is a very rare chart, and we are delighted to offer it to you. There are no sax doubles. The trumpet solo is on the 2nd part & the trombone solo is on the 2nd part.

WOODY HERMAN/HARRY JAMES CIRIBIRIBIN

***NEW***

Arranged by Myles Collins Advanced $65.00 LL-1198 Ciribiribin is perhaps the solo trumpet chart by which all others are measured. It is certainly a very challenging piece for your soloist, though can also be used as a solo vehicle for clarinet or soprano sax instead. We have reproduced James’ 1939 classic for you in full, from the classically inspired intro, the Mediterranean waltz section, the little Baroque bridge, the trumpet cadenza and the fast swing second half. We have adapted the original to suit 8 brass (solo trumpet, trumpets 1,2,3 & 4 trombones) and 5 saxes (AATTB). The solo trumpet part is exactly as played by James along with all articulations and phrasings. Aside from the difficulty of the trumpet part, the chart is reasonably straightforward for the rest of the band.

DONCHA GO ‘WAY MAD

***NEW*** [VOCAL]

Arranged by Alan Glasscock Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-2107 Harry James and The Skylarks vocal group briefly joined forces in 1949-50, and came up with this gem of a chart. Don’cha Go ‘Way Mad is all about a guy begging forgiveness for cheating on his girlfriend - quite a risky choice of a song for the times. The band and singers gel really well in this song, and the chart itself is not too demanding. Whilst the Skylarks were a 5-piece vocal outfit, we have modified the vocals to make it suitable for a more regular 4-piece (SATB) group. There are no Sax doubles in this chart. Another fine work from the pen of Alan Glasscock.

I HAD THE CRAZIEST DREAM

[VOCAL]

Arranged by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-2170 I Had The Craziest Dream was another big hit for the Harry James Orchestra, in his ‘band that swings with strings’ period. It is a romantic, floaty ballad, sung by Helen Forrest, and which also features James’ trademark trumpet solo. This chart was originally recorded with big band plus string section, and some additional orchestral backing. We have modified the arrangement by removing the strings and extra instruments, to make it suitable for a standard line-up. Therefore both alto saxes double clarinet, and the French horn solo lines have been re-assigned to trombone 1, with an upper range of high C. Harry James’ solo is written out in full. Vocal key Ab.

I’VE HEARD THAT SONG BEFORE

***NEW***

[VOCAL]

Arranged by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-2123 Originally written for the film ‘Youth on Parade’ by Jule Styne & Sammy Cahn, this tune became a huge hit for Helen Forrest and the Harry James Orchestra. James recorded the chart in 1942 and 1955. This arrangement is a fusion of these two, mostly drawn drawn the ’42, with touches of the ’55. James’ 1st chorus solo is written out in full (on the 1st trumpet part) and the string lines behind the vocal chorus have been given to the sax section. Helen Forrest’s vocal is written out assung, and the vocal key is G.

IT’S BEEN A LONG, LONGTIME

[VOCAL]

Arranged by John Ferguson Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-2118 A beautiful vocal ballad from the great co-operative writing team of Sammy Cahn & Jule Styne, this chart was made famous by Harry James and features your lead trumpet, lead alto and naturally your singer too. We have written out James’ solo and Willie Smith’s alto solo in full, and have kept the chart true to the James original, with the exception of re-scoring the string lines back into the saxes. The chart has been graded as medium though the lead bone has to hit a high C. Other than this, it’s not that hard to play. The vocal key is C and there are no sax doubles.

JAMES SESSION

***NEW***

Arranged by Myles Collins Advanced $65.00 Cat: LL-1183 Written by Jack Mattias (of Trumpet Blues & Cantabile fame), this is a big swing chart that features trumpet, drums, trombone and alto sax. James recorded this chart in ‘42 and again in ‘55. The later version is presented here, though the trombone solo from the ‘42 recording is featured. Also the final trumpet cadenza has been shortened and the ending from the earlier version has been added in to bring the chart to a positive close. James’ lead line and Willie Smith’s alto solos are fully written out, as are the first 100 measures of the cadenza as played by James. This is a raw, energy packed piece, great for dancing or concert work. There are no sax doubles.

HARRY JAMES/STAN KENTON LUSH LIFE Transcribed by Jon Harpin Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-1112 This version is an out-and-out trumpet feature from the Harry James book. It is as the name suggests, lush, rich, full of wonderful tone and color - and it makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up. The horns are written as three trumpets and solo trumpet, and the solo part would suit a player with a big fat tone. The lead alto doubles clarinet for just a couple of bars, the 1st trumpet reaches a high Db briefly on a couple of occasions, and the 1st trombone gets to high C, though we’ve cued the 3rd trumpet just in case.

MUSIC MAKERS

***NEW***

Arranged by Myles Collins Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-1211 Harry James recorded a couple of versions of this tune, first in 1941 and again in 1955. This is the later version which packs more punch. The chart is at heart a trumpet section feature with three snorting passages of play, though not at the difficulty level of ‘Trumpet Blues & Cantabile.’ The tenor solo is written in full and is best played as originally written, though your player can improvise from the chords if preferred. The lead trumpet is written to a high F in the closing run, but the line can be taken down an octave without detracting from the finish, which then makes the required lead range a top Eb (in the second of the sectional passages).

SEPTEMBER SONG Transcribed by Myles Collins Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-1156 Here is a really unusual arrangement of this jazz standard from the Harry James Orchestra. Slow, bluesy and laid back, the chart opens with the baritone and bass in unison, with tightly muted trumpets over, then the saxes layer in with a smooth contrapuntal line, then the unison trombones pick up the melody over the same underlying bari/bass figures. There follows a truly inventive bridge, a tutti chorus in swing time and then Harry’s soaring solo which we have written out in full. Nimble fingers needed. Then everything calms down and returns to the opening theme at the end. There are no sax doubles.

SLEEPY LAGOON Transcribed by Alan Glasscock Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-2406 Although composed originally as a waltz, this version from the Harry James orchestra is firmly in 4/4 time. Alan Glasscock has transcribed this chart beautifully, and has rescored the string lines into the band, making this chart playable as with a standard 5/4/4/4 line up. The arrangement features trumpet, as you might expect with a James chart, and also a solo spot for trombone. This is a really lush, fat tune, full of dynamic contrast and soaring modulations. Your pianist will need to be nimble and smooth in the intro, to make the rolling arpeggio figures flow like the waves lapping on a tropical shore. There are some sax doubles too: both altos use clarinets, baritone doubles alto and lead alto has a toot of flute in the intro.

STRUTTIN’ WITH SOME BARBECUE Arranged by John Ferguson Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-1162 This tune was written by Louis Armstrong and used by him as his theme tune for a number of years. This version is from the Harry James book, and is not only a great trumpet feature, but a really rare chart too. It has a lilting two-beat feel that swings like crazy from start to finish. The 1st trumpet has the solo lead, the solo is written out in full and there is a ripping sax soli where your players need to stand up and show themselves off a bit. There are no sax doubles.

TRUMPET BLUES & CANTABILE Transcribed by Myles Collins Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-95501 A great swing chart from the James book. Trumpet Blues opens with a short band fanfare in half time, and then breaks into a driving swing boogie. The middle half-time Cantabile provides the contrast, but breaks back into swing boogie for the last choruses. A feature for your trumpet section, but be warned that they will need a few minutes to recover afterwards. You will need a good trumpet section to play this arrangement. It is in the original key of Bb, and modulates to D for the end choruses.

86

TWO O’CLOCK JUMP Transcribed by Myles Collins Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-45004 This version of Two O’Clock Jump is from the James band of the 1950s, and has a much more relaxed and laid back feel then the original version. This number is great for swing dancing and grooves from start to finish. The opening piano and trumpet solos are written out for you, and the 12 bar piano solo is from chords. This chart is graded medium/advanced mainly because of the high trumpet triplet runs which go from high Eb on the 2nd part, with the 8va option written onto the other 3 parts too. There are no sax doubles.

AS PERFORMED BY STAN KENTON 23°N 82°W Arranged by Bill Russo Difficult $59.00 Cat: SMP-530 This is one of the most creative, important big band compositions ever written by anyone! It is also a chart which has been in demand for many years. We publish this in the memory of the passing of Mr. Russo in 2003. He was a dynamic force in all of music, and this particular piece was his most requested work. This is exactly as it was recorded by the Stan Kenton Orchestra on the New Concepts of Artistry in Rhythm CD. If you have the “horses” this will be a big hit for your band. Solos for alto sax and trombone. 5-5-5-4

ABSTRACTION Arranged by Pete Rugolo Difficult $37.00 Cat: SMP-625 From the Kenton Encores LP. Recorded in 1947, Abstraction (the 3rd Movement of the Prologue Suite) is an excellent example of the far-reaching compositional styles which the band was doing in the late ‘40’s. Rugolo was a real pioneer in this respect. Solos for alto, tenor and piano.

ADESTE FIDELES Arranged by Stan Kenton Medium Difficult $52.00 Cat: SMP-605 The 1961 Capitol Records recording of Christmas music was a smash hit for Kenton. This particular arrangement is more traditional in scope, but it is filled with wonderful, lush harmonies and the Kenton style of arranging. The original arrangements were written for 4 trumpets, 4 mellophoniums, 4 trombones, tuba, keyboard, bass, drums and auxiliary percussion. These are the charts we sell, but we’ve also included saxophone parts which take the place of the mellophonium parts. They work quite well! From Kenton’s Merry Christmas recording.

Arranged by Lennie Niehaus Medium Difficult $55.00 Cat: SMP-736 Lennie Niehaus wrote a series of terrific arrangements for the Stan Kenton Orchestra (this was recorded on the ‘Stage Door Swings’).

Ranges are quite modest for a Kenton chart, and this could also be played with only 8 brass. 5/5/5/3

ALL THE THINGS YOU ARE Arranged by Stan Kenton Medium Difficult $42.00 Cat: SMP-688 The lush trombone section sound of the Kenton Orchestra on a gorgeous ballad. Rescored to be played without the mellophoniums. A wonderful concert or dance book addition. Recorded on the Romantic Approach LP.

ALL THE THINGS YOU ARE Arranged by Gerry Mulligan Medium $47.00 Cat: SMP-577 One of those mystery charts that hardly anyone knows about, this chart is a beauty. Mulligan was a master at creating moods and using wonderful chord substitutions, as he did in this medium ballad. The arrangement features trumpet throughout (written to feature Buddy Childers), and it was played very often by the Kenton Band. The brass ranges and rhythms for all are very reasonable (written Bb above the staff for Trumpet). This is a VERY impressive chart that is easy to play. 5-5-5-4

CHRISTMAS MEDLEY Arranged by Stan Kenton Difficult $59.00 Cat: SMP-580 As recorded by Kenton on ‘Merry Christmas,’ this chart has optional saxophone parts which nicely cover the french horn parts (originally written for only brass and rhythm section).

CONCERTO TO END ALL CONCERTOS Arranged by Stan Kenton Medium Difficult $52.00 Cat: SMP-612 One of Kenton’s most important compositions. It moves through a series of moods, tempos, and styles, and features each section in a way that best describes the Kenton Sound of the 1940s and beyond. A must-have chart for any big band historian. No Kenton tribute is complete without a performance of this exquisite 1946 composition. This piece set the music world on its ear! A great composition!

CUBAJAZZ Arranged by Bill Holman Medium Difficult $52.00 Cat: SMP-557 Rarely does a piece turn up like this one. Although written for Stan Kenton (the mid1950s), the chart never was recorded by the band (Holman doesn’t know why), and it was lost for years. It is a sensational piece, combining Afro-Cuban rhythm (Latin) and Swing, and featuring solo space for tenor sax, trumpet and drums. It utilizes counterpoint between the wind sections over a latin vamp and explores the perfect balance between counterpoint and dynamic ensemble writing in the Swing sections. This is Holman at his very best!

Full score and parts for the original instrumentation of 4/5/5/4 plus, 2 horn parts and 6 perc. parts. This really is a marvelous chart! Recorded on the Cuban Fire CD.

EL MANISERO (PEANUT VENDOR)***NEW*** Arranged by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-1229 Adapted from the 1956 recording, El Manisero (the Peanut Vendor) remains one of Stan Kenton’s most enduring hits, and is a feature chart for lead trombone (who solos for the first minute of the chart), the trumpet section with their screaming dissonances and for the pianist. This arrangement is essentially the same as Kenton’s ‘Peanut Vendor,’ but transposed down a major 3rd and with a shortened piano solo. To add more interest and to build the rhythm backing to the chart, rhythm indications have been written on all the brass parts (except trombone 1) from the opening of the chart, so bring some wood blocks, claves, cabasas and cuicas along. The trumpet lines are not hard, but they are fairly high, with 1 & 2 reaching high C and 3 reaching A. If you want to play the genuine Kenton version with the complete piano solo and have trumpets who can reach high D and E please order the ‘Peanut Vendor - LL1297’ chart. There are no sax doubles, and the 4th trombone is bass.

***NEW***

Transcribed by Myles Collins Advanced $65.00 Cat: LL-1297 Transcribed from the 1956 recording, the Peanut Vendor remains one of Stan Kenton’s most enduring hits, and is a feature chart for lead trombone (who solos for the first minute of the chart), the trumpet section with their screaming dissonances and for the pianist. The Kenton piano solo has been written out in full and the solo itself is a work of art, showing us what can be done when improvising over just a couple of chords. To add more interest and to build the rhythm backing to the chart, rhythm indications have been written on all the brass parts (except trombone 1) from the opening of the chart, so bring some wood blocks, claves, cabasas and cuicas along. The trumpet lines are not hard, but they are high, with 1 & 2 reaching high E and 3 & 4 reaching high D. If your players don’t have this range, please order the ‘El Manisero - LL-1229’ chart. (It is essentially the same chart transposed down a major 3rd with a shortened piano solo, so the trumpet ranges are limited to high C). There are no sax doubles, the 4th trombone is bass (optional 5th trumpet & trombone parts have been included).

The third of seven movements published by Sierra Music. The original score of Richards’ was the source for this and all the movements of this suite. Full parts for original instrumentation of 4 saxes, 5 trumpets, 2 french horns, 4 trombones, tuba, piano guitar, bass, drum set, timpani and 6 additional percussionists. For the first time, a full score is included. Recorded on the Cuban Fire CD.

REED RAPTURE Arranged by Stan Kenton Medium $37.00 Cat: SMP-561 We are proud to publish another one of Stan Kenton’s ground-breaking saxophone section features. Opus in Pastels is already in print, but this piece actually pre-dates Opus in Pastels and was included in the Kenton Era collection of recordings. The piece perfectly demonstrates the thinking of the young Stan Kenton. Written for saxophones and rhythm only.

RENDEZVOUS AT SUNSET Arranged by Johnny Richards Medium Difficult $47.00 Cat: SMP-667 One of the things Johnny Richards did best was write gorgeous melodies (many just think of him as bombastic and obsessed with odd-meter things). This is one of those melodies, as recorded on the Back to Balboa LP. There are trumpet, tenor and trombone solos. The chart has been edited so it can be played with a standard big band. 5-5-5-4 with an optional french horn part.

RHAPSODY IN BLUE Arranged by Bill Holman Difficult $52.00 Cat: SMP-727 As recorded by the Stan Kenton Orchestra on “Live at Brigham Young University”, this is a rare baritone saxophone solo feature throughout. The arrangement by Holman is marvelous, opening and closing with a slow statement of the theme, and roaring in an up-tempo setting in the middle of the chart. This is a very exciting arrangement of Gershwin’s unforgettable piece. 5-5-5-3

THE RISE AND FALL OF A SHORT FUGUE Arranged by Bob Curnow Difficult $52.00 Cat: SMP-551 The Stan Kenton Orchestra was always ahead of its time! This chart was recorded on the Stan Kenton Plays Chicago CD. It was one of two originals on the album. Stan asked Bob to write something which could be performed differently every night. The fugue is an interesting tone row style jazz line which leads into a free-form section which is cued by the conductor in any manner so chosen. A great piece!

ROUND ROBIN Arranged by Shorty Rogers Difficult $59.00 Cat: SMP-584 This amazing chart was recorded by the Stan Kenton Orchestra and released on the By Request-Volume One album. It is one of those stunning charts by Shorty which took full advantage of the talents of the likes of Maynard Ferguson, Bud Shank, Milt Bernhart and Shelly Manne. This requires an accomplished tpt. section with lots of chops. Solos for alto sax, tenor sax and trumpet. 5-5-5-3

ROYAL BLUE Arranged by Bill Holman Difficult $67.00 Cat: SMP-697 Bill Holman’s compositions in the library of the Stan Kenton Orchestra were some of the most exciting pieces ever conceived for jazz orchestra. This is an up- tempo romp through the blues, major and minor. It contains all of the elements so associated with the Kenton band-excitement, energy and wonderfully inventive writing. This chart was recorded on the Back To Balboa LP. 5-5-5-3 (w/opt. french horn parts)

SAMBA SIETE Arranged by Hank Levy Advanced $62.00 Cat: SMP-645 A samba in 7/4 ...... only Hank could make that work! This is a tough chart, but well worth the effort. Exactly as recorded on the Live at Butler University CD. Trumpet, alto saxophone and drums are featured on this extremely exciting Latin piece. Levy at his best ! This chart requires 1 alto, 2 tenors and 2 baritones. (condensed score)

SEPTEMBER SONG Arranged by Stan Kenton Medium $32.00 Cat: SMP-622 The Kenton Band had many hits over the years, and a couple of them involved the whole band singing. This was one of those charts. Now, if your band isn’t into singing (maybe they should be), then this is the perfect vehicle for your vocalist. Pitched in Ab. Trumpets get a breather and the trombones and saxophones shine as section. A wonderfully relaxing, lush chart.

A SMITH NAMED GREG Arranged by Hank Levy Medium Difficult $52.00 Cat: SMP-562 This is a wonderful feature for baritone saxophone! It was recorded by the Stan Kenton Orchestra on the Kenton ’76 CD. It opens with a slow, pensive melody (bass and soloist only) and continues with backgrounds through the rest of the melody. The soloist then sets a brighter tempo with a 4-bar break, and the soloist and rhythm section continue for a while until the band is cued in. Limited ranges (except for one measure in 1st tpt.) make this a very accessible chart for most bands. Hurray for Hank Levy!

SOLO FOR BUDDY Arranged by Bill Holman Difficult $52.00 Cat: SMP-615 Buddy Childers, that is! Willis wrote this for Buddy in 1954, and it is recorded on the Kenton Showcase album. A terrific feature for your stellar trumpet player. 5-5-5-4 (condensed score)

SPEAK LOW Arranged by Johnny Richards Difficult $52.00 Cat: SMP-682 Recorded on the Back To Balboa LP by the Stan Kenton Orchestra, this is a typical Richards chart in that it contains exciting ensemble blowing and lots of solo space for trombone, tenor sax, trumpet and alto sax. It is set in a Latin feel and has very reasonable brass ranges. A must for your library!

SPRING IS HERE Arranged by Lennie Niehaus Medium Difficult $52.00 Cat: SMP-563 This is another one of those absolutely wonderful charts that Lennie did for Stan Kenton for what was known as the dance book. It was the hippest dance book ever! A medium-swing tempo sets this great standard in a framework that is very musical and very exciting. Trumpet and bass are featured. Limited ranges (tpt. written high D). This one will be a real favorite.

STAIRWAY TO THE STARS Arranged by Bill Holman Difficult $52.00 Cat: SMP-554 Another terrific feature chart by Bill Holman. This one was written to feature Gabe Baltazar (alto saxophone) and was recorded on the Adventures in Jazz album. It opens with a slow setting, moves into a fast tempo and returns to the pensive, beautiful, slow setting which opened the chart. Exquisite writing! Edited to be played without mellophoniums. Standard sax section. 5-4-4-3 (10 brass optional)

STAN KENTON “HITS” MEDLEY

Arranged by Bob Curnow Medium Difficult $62.00 Cat: SMP-603 Four wonderful tunes.... Eager Beaver, Dynaflow, Opus in Chartreuse and Artistry in Rhythm are included in this medley. Curnow put on paper what the band used to play to close most concerts or dances in the later years. Perfect for a kenton Tribute Concert when you want to end with the best loved hits of this band. Fairly easy to play for most bands. In fact, the idea was to rest the trumpet section for a while.

STAR SPANGLED BANNER Arranged by Bob Curnow Difficult $45.00 Cat: SMP-575 There have been SO many requests for the ORIGINAL arrangement as recorded by the Stan Kenton Orchestra, that Curnow has made it available for the first time. Here is the national anthem, as recorded by Kenton in 1972 on “National Anthems of the World.” Here is a respectful, beautiful, powerful arrangement in the Kenton tradition. (alto, 2 tenors, 2 baritones; 5 trpts.; 4 trbs.; tuba, piano, bass drum set and timpani).

STELLA BY STARLIGHT Arranged by Johnny Richards Medium Difficult $60.00 Cat: SMP-574 This is the bass trombone solo, as recorded (The Kenton Era) by George Roberts with the Stan Kenton Orchestra. Folks have been waiting for this one for a long time. Johnny Richards sets this wonderful ballad in his typically adventurous and exciting manner.There is also a trumpet solo. Reasonable ranges make this piece very playable. A classic chart on a classic melody. 5-5-5-3 (can be played with 8 brass)

STELLA BY STARLIGHT Arranged by Bill Holman Medium Difficult $47.00 Cat: SMP-661 A great alto saxophone feature. From the incomparable Contemporary Concepts album (1955). It begins with a soft, lovely statement of the melody and ends that way, with a roaring up-tempo middle section. This is one of Holman’s most often played features.

A STEP BEYOND Arranged by Hank Levy Difficult $52.00 Cat: SMP-616 Live at Brigham Young University was the CD on which this chart was recorded. It is written in 5/4 and has solos for baritone saxophone and trumpet. A terrific chart by the incomparable Hank Levy. 5-5-5-3 (condensed score)

STOMPIN’ AT THE SAVOY Arranged by Bill Holman Difficult $52.00 Cat: SMP-655 If there is one chart which seems to capture the essence of Stan’s mid-fifties bands, this is the one! The chart swings like mad from downbeat to the end. This is one of Holman’s best early charts, and he turned everyone on their ear with it. Great ensemble sections, and great solo spaces for guitar (or piano), bass, trumpet and tenor saxophone. This is very sophisticated music on maybe the best album the Kenton Band ever did. Recorded on the Contemporary Concepts album.

STREET OF DREAMS Arranged by Stan Kenton Medium Difficult $32.00 Cat: SMP-623 Stan had a very definite style of arranging which, of course, was the basis of most of the music for his early bands. This chart is very simple but extremely effective. It begins with quiet trombones (5 parts), then piano, then the whole band at full volume, then an alto saxophone solo, then the sax section is featured, and then there is a quiet, wonderful ending with alto and rhythm alone. This chart was recorded many times, but it was first included in the Portraits on Standards album (featuring Art Pepper on the solo). A beautiful ballad and a real arranging masterpiece!

STREET SCENE

***NEW***

Arranged by Gene Roland Medium Difficult $49.00 Cat: SMP-739 This is the exact arrangement as played on the ‘Live at the Tropicana’ by the Stan Kenton Orchestra. It is a lovely, moody chart, with lush, warm harmonies and orchestration. Solos are in the tenor sax, trumpet, trombone and piano parts. Very moderate ranges (one isolated high D in tpt. 1) make this a most playable chart. Your band will love playing this. 5/5/5/3 (needs 10 brass)

STRING OF PEARLS

***NEW***

Arranged by Gene Roland Difficult $55.00 Cat: SMP-740 This is NOT the Glenn Miller version of this tune. Gene Roland arranged this for the Kenton Band (recorded on the ‘Live at the Tropicana’ CD), and it swings like crazy! There is a nifty pattern created in the rhythm section which underlies the theme stated by trombones. You’ll find this to be a refreshing and take on this old standard. There is solo space for alto saxophone. 5/5/5/3 - can be played with just 8 brass.

SUNSET TOWER Arranged by Stan Kenton Medium Difficult $52.00 Cat: SMP-537 This is one of the amazing stories of finding what was thought to be a long-lost chart. After extensive research, it turned up as an untitled set of parts in the North Texas Kenton archives. We are proud to bring you this unedited Kenton original, computer notated (as are most of our charts) from the original parts. This is a wonderful piece which features a trombone solo (Carl Fontana’s transcribed solo is included). Reasonable ranges.

SWING HOUSE Arranged by Gerry Mulligan Difficult $47.00 Cat: SMP-658 Mulligan’s writing for the Kenton Band was fairly minimal in quantity but extraordinary in quality. He had a profound effect on the band and the writers to follow him. This composition was recorded in 1952 and is on the New Concepts CD. There is solo space for trombone, alto tenor and trumpet. A classic which should be in every jazz library.

TAKING A CHANCE ON LOVE

***NEW***

Arranged by Lennie Niehaus Medium Difficult $55.00 Cat: SMP-741 This is one of those marvelous dance charts that Lennie Niehaus wrote for Stan Kenton. Of course, all of Lennie’s charts are extremely hip, and this is no exception. Saxophones lay down a nifty little counter melody which occurs throughout the chart, and trumpets state the wonderful melody. There is solo space for trumpet and a neat saxophone soli. This has very moderate brass ranges (high D for tpt. 1) and will be a great addition to any jazz library. 5/4/4/3 (opt. 10 brass parts)

THEME AND VARIATIONS Arranged by Bill Holman Difficult $52.00 Cat: SMP-617 Recorded in 1953 on the Kenton Showcase album, this is a medium tempo swing chart which was (and still is) very different and fresh. There is no improvisation in it! It opens with unison trombones playing a simple melody, and then the different sections join in one at a time to create the many variations in the piece. Holman demonstates his classical knowledge, but never at the expense of swinging.

THERE’S A SMALL HOTEL Arranged by Bill Russo Difficult $49.00 Cat: SMP-589 As recorded by the Stan Kenton Orchestra on “Sketches on Standards”, this is a wonderful, creative arrangement of a great standard. Russo had a wonderful way with chord substitutions and used them a lot in this chart. There is a solo for alto sax (the transcribed solo of Lee Konitz is included) and piano. This will make a great addition to any jazz and/or dance librar y. All the ranges are reasonable. 5-5-5-4

THREE THOUGHTS Arranged by Dee Barton Difficult $62.00 Cat: SMP-647 What a dynamic chart this is! It is included on the CD recording The Jazz Compositions of Dee Barton (1967). It opens with a dramatic, rubato ensemble at a slow tempo (while the bass and drums are swinging at a bright tempo) and then it moves into a fastpaced setting. Lots of solo space for bass and drums and alto saxophone and trumpet. The piece ends the way it begins. A wonderful composition by an extraordinary composer. This chart requires 1 alto, 2 tenor and 2 baritone saxophones. 5-5-5-3 (condensed score)

THE THRILL IS GONE Arranged by Bill Mathieu Difficult $47.00 Cat: SMP-534 Many think that Standards in Silhouette was the most beautiful ballad album ever recorded by the Kenton Band. This chart is the fourth one (along with Ill Wind, The Meaning of the Blues and Willow Weep for Me) which is now in print. Bill Mathieu is an extremely creative arranger who has reinvented these gorgeous ballads.

If you’re looking for that exotic, romantic, gorgeous ballad for your band, this is the one! Recorded on the Live from Redlands University CD.

TIME FOR A CHANGE

***NEW***

Arranged by Hank Levy Difficult $52.00 Cat: SMP-618 This is a new edition (Finale computer notation) of this wonderful composition. It is available with a full score for the first time. Exactly as recorded by the Stan Kenton Orchestra on the ‘Kenton ’76’ CD, this is, unquestionably, one of the best things Hank ever wrote for Kenton. Once you get by the 9/8 meter (not too difficult), the reasonable ranges (1st tpt. high D only) make this a very playable chart. The melody is absolutely lovely, and there is solo space for alto, tenor and trumpet. 5/5/5/3 (can be played with only 8 brass).

A TIME FOR LOVE Arranged by Hank Levy Medium Difficult $42.00 Cat: SMP-67 This is another one of those charts which did not get commercially (or legally) recorded by the band. Hank wrote it in the later years. It features the lush 5-way trombone sound for which the band was so well known. There is a short (written) piano solo, a strong ensemble (trumpets do not play very high at all) and a quiet ending. Another masterful chart by Hank Levy. 5-5-5-3

TRES CORAZONES Arranged by Johnny Richards Difficult $57.00 Cat: SMP-666 Movement VII (of 7) of the Cuban Fire Suite. Finally ... the definitive version of this magnificent music. This is the lost movement, which we were fortunate to find. The original score of Richards’ was the source for this and all the movements of this suite. Full parts for original instrumentation of 4 saxes, 5 trumpets, 2 French horns, 4 trombones, tuba, piano, guitar, bass, drum set, timpani and 6 additional percussionists. For the first time, a full score is included. Recorded on the Cuban Fire CD.

TURTLE TALK Arranged by Dee Barton Advanced $52.00 Cat: SMP-649 There are quite a few charts in the Kenton Library that stand out because of their extreme originality. This is one of them. It is also a very demanding and exciting chart. The melody and harmonic structures are based for the most part on the whole tone scales (as is Waltz of the Prophets). This piece has not been converted to computer notation, and the parts and score (a very poor visual quality full score) are exactly as played by the band. This is fast, screaming big band jazz at its wildest! This chart requires 1 alto, 2 tenor and 2 baritone saxophones.

THE TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS Arranged by Ralph Carmichael Medium Difficult $52.00 Cat: SMP-610 The 1961 Capitol Records recording of Christmas music was a smash hit for Kenton. It contained arrangements by Kenton and (mostly) Ralph Carmichael of traditional Christmas music. This particular arrangement is one of the more complex charts on the album. It goes through a series of meters and textures and ends up with a no-holds-barred swinging section at the end. A great chart! The original arrangements were written for 4 trumpets, 4 mellophoniums, 4 trombones, tuba, keyboard, bass, drums and auxiliary percussion. These are the charts we sell, but we’ve also included saxophone parts which take the place of the mellophonium parts. They work quite well! From Kenton’s Merry Christmas recording.

TWO SHADES OF AUTUMN Arranged by Joe Coccia Medium Difficult $47.00 Cat: SMP-673 This is a beautiful ballad, exactly as recorded on the Rendezvous with Kenton album. It features solos for alto and tenor saxophones. This is a gorgeous theme in a lovely setting.

UNISON RIFF Arranged by Pete Rugolo Difficult $50.00 Cat: SMP-636 This chart has appeared on a couple of different albums over the years (Kenton Classics and Hits). It is typical, swinging Rugolo as he was writing in the late ‘40s. Solos for trumpet, alto, bass and trombone.

WALKIN’ SHOES Arranged by Gerry Mulligan Medium Difficult $42.00 Cat: SMP-656 This is one of those charts that can be played by any reasonably accomplished big band (including high school players). It is Mulligan’s own chart on his famous tune. The only recorded version of it, oddly enough, is the one on Road Show, and it was used as a vehicle for June Christy and the Four Freshmen to sing. They simply sing the instrumental lines which are in the chart. However, when the band takes over, it is obvious what a great chart this is. Easy swinging and wonderful music. (condensed score)

WALTZ OF THE PROPHETS Arranged by Dee Barton Advanced $62.00 Cat: SMP-651 There are quite a few charts in the Kenton Library that stand out because of their extreme originality. This is one of them. It is also a very demanding and exciting chart. The melody and harmonic structures are based for the most part on the whole tone scales (as is Turtle Talk). There is space for tenor and trumpet solos. This was one of the more popular charts that the band played throughout the 1960s. It is recorded on the Adventures in Jazz CD. This piece has not been converted to computer notation, and the parts (no score) are exactly as played by the band. This chart requires 1 alto, 2 tenor, 1 baritone and 1 bass saxophone. (no score)

WE THREE KINGS Arranged by Ralph Carmichael Medium Difficult $52.00 Cat: SMP-611 The 1961 Capitol Records recording of Christmas music was a smash hit for Kenton. It contained arrangements by Kenton and (mostly) Ralph Carmichael of traditional Christmas music. This particular arrangement is one of the jazzier ones on the album. It swings like crazy! The original arrangements were written for 4 trumpets, 4 mellophoniums, 4 trombones, tuba, keyboard, bass, drums and auxiliary percussion. These are the charts we sell, but we’ve also included saxophone parts which take the place of the mellophonium parts. They work quite well! From Kenton’s Merry Christmas recording.

WE’LL BE TOGETHER AGAIN Arranged by Stan Kenton Medium Difficult $47.00 Cat: SMP-698 Written by Stan in the late 50s, this chart is wonderful in its simplicity and melodic content. A more beautiful ballad has not been written, and Kenton’s arrangement really focuses on that beauty. Solos for trumpet and piano (written out). Recorded on the Ballad Style of Stan Kenton CD.

WHAT’S NEW? Arranged by Bill Holman Medium Difficult $62.00 Cat: SMP-660 This may be the all-time greatest jazz arrangement of a standard tune. Also from the Contemporary Concepts LP (1955). This great standard is turned into a marvelous vehicle for solo statements from alto, tenor trumpet and trombone. No big band jazz library can be complete without this superb arrangement.

WHATEVER LOLA WANTS Arranged by Lennie Niehaus Medium Difficult $52.00 Cat: SMP-590 As recorded by the Stan Kenton Orchestra on Stage Door Swings, this medium-up swing chart comes roaring out of the chute with a brass pop and leads into the piano stating the melody. There is additional solo space for baritone sax and a neat unison enesemble passage that takes this happy, swinging chart to the end. 5-5-54 (can be played by only 8 brass).

WHERE OR WHEN Arranged by Gerry Mulligan Medium Difficult $47.00 Cat: SMP-723 Mulligan contributed only a few charts to the Kenton Library, and they are all classics. This arrangement is no exception. Although originally arranged for Stan’s dance book in the ’50s, this is much more than a dance chart. The saxophone section is featured, and the chart finishes with Mulligan’s marvelous creative touch. Solo for piano. 5-5-5-4

WILLOW WEEP FOR ME Arranged by Bill Mathieu Difficult $47.00 Cat: SMP-535 Bill Mathieu’s arrangements, done for the Stan Kenton Orchestra, were some of the most beautiful pieces ever recorded by that band. This is a splendid rendition of a great standard. It contains all of the elements so associated with the Kenton band - wonderfully inventive writing. Trumpet, tenor and trombone solos. This chart is on the new Standards in Silhouette CD.

WORKS Arranged by Bill Holman Medium Difficult $52.00 Cat: SMP-564 Here is a terrific medium swing chart, also written for Stan Kenton in the ‘50s. Although it was never recorded commercially by the band, it was played a great deal in live performances throughout the country and is on a number of transcription recordings. It cooks from beginning to end, and features solo space for trumpet and tenor sax, and one of those patented Holman ensemble shout choruses that just swings like crazy!

YESTERDAYS Arranged by Bill Holman Difficult $42.00 Cat: SMP-668 This is a wonderful feature for tenor saxophone (as recorded by Bill Perkins). Bill says that people ask him about this recording more than any other he has done (and that’s a LOT!). Holman uses the essence of this beautiful ballad, stays out of the way of the soloist, and creates one of the most successful feature ballads ever arranged. This is very sophisticated music on maybe the best album the Kenton Band ever did. Recorded on the Contemporary Concepts album.

YOU GO TO MY HEAD Arranged by Bob Graettinger Difficult $47.00 Cat: SMP-686 It is hard to explain the characterisitic of this arrangement except to say that, even though Graettinger writes some very adventurous and futuristic textures and lines, you always know where and what the melody is. This is just wonderful writing! If you’re looking for something to program which demonstrates the contributions of Graettinger to the Kenton aura, but does not get as weird (not a good word) as other things he wrote, this really fits the bill. Included on the City of Glass CD.

YOUNG BLOOD Arranged by Gerry Mulligan Difficult $52.00 Cat: SMP-657 Mulligan’s writing for the Kenton Band was fairly minimal in quantity but extraordinary in quality. He had a profound effect on the band and the writers to follow him. This composition was recorded in 1952 and is on the New Concepts CD. There is solo space for alto, tenor and trumpet. A classic which should be in every jazz library. 55-5-4 (This music is available from Mosaic Records in their Russo/Holman CD set.)

YOUNGER THAN SPRINGTIME

***NEW***

Arranged by Lennie Niehaus Medium Difficult $55.00 Cat: Cat: SMP-742 Lennie Niehaus wrote a series of terrific arrangements for the Stan Kenton Orchestra (this was recorded on the ‘Stage Door Swings’ CD). This chart is a medium-swing version of a great Rodgers & Hammerstein tune. It features solo space for trumpet. Ranges are quite moderate (a couple of high E’s for tpt. 1) for a Kenton chart. This swings like mad, and your band will surely love playing it. 5/5/5/3

ZOOT Arranged by Bill Holman Difficult $52.00 Cat: SMP-652 Holman wrote this to feature (of course) Zoot Sims on tenor saxophone. This is a feature throughout the chart and is a typical swinger in the Holman style of the early 1950s. The only recording is on the Kenton Era collection. (This recording is also available from Mosaic Records in their Russo/Holman CD set.) The parts are hand copied, not computer notated. (condensed score)

STAN KENTON/GENE KRUPA AS PERFORMED BY GENE KRUPA BOOGIE BLUES

[VOCAL]

Arranged by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-99504 A hit for Anita O’Day during her second spell with the Gene Krupa Orchestra, this chart is taken from the album Let Me Off Uptown on Columbia/Legacy (CK 65625). The opening Boogie, followed by an Alto solo (written) leads in to the vocal chorus. There’s just a muted trumpet and the rhythm section backing the singer. The band comes back with the boogie and into a big shout chorus to finish. Baritone sax on alto throughout. The alto and trumpet solos are written out. Vocal Key: Eb

DISC JOCKEY JUMP Transcribed by Bob Martin Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-99973 This chart is very clever in its concept, as it is both big band and an 8-piece bebop all rolled into one. The front line is a quartet of alto, tenor, trumpet and trombone taking the unison melody line, with the rest of the blowers providing the backing support. Each of the quartet have solos. This chart in a way reflects its time in history, with the shift from the big band format of the ‘40s to much smaller outfits in the ‘50s. This is not a demanding piece to play, and also sounds good at reduced tempo.

LEAVE US LEAP Arranged by Myles Collins Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-99972 Made popular by the Gene Krupa Orchestra, Leave Us Leap is a full-blooded uptempo swing chart in which dynamics are everything. The first chorus is taken by the saxes, with punchy brass backing. Solos for trumpet, trombone, tenor and piano follow, with a cameo alto solo introducing a big shout chorus at the end. The drummer is then left to his own devices for a solo spot, which could last from a few seconds to several minutes. Some bands leave the stage at this point and let him get on with it! The shout chorus is repeated to end things off.

LET ME OFF UPTOWN

[VOCAL]

Arranged by Myles Collins Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-99467 This was a huge hit for the Krupa band, featuring Anita O’Day and Roy Eldridge. The chart is a medium tempo swing duet between the two and has some lovely spoken interplay between them. We realize than not many bands have trumpet players who also sing, so we have written both vocal lines on one part, and cross-cued the male vocal onto the 2nd trumpet part just in case. This chart is also a trumpet feature, with the 2nd trumpet taking a screaming solo when the vocals are over. Eldridge’s original version (which we have written out in full) goes up to a super G, though we have provided chords should your player wish to improvise. All 3 other trumpets are written to high Eb during a unison run up to the T2 solo, but 3 & 4 can be dropped an octave if they can’t reach the range. This chart would be a medium if the soloist improvises and T3&4 drop the octave. There are no sax doubles. Vocal Key: Db

OPUS ONE

[VOCAL]

Transcribed by Myles Collins Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-99960 This is the vocal version that Anita O’Day recorded with Gene Krupa, and is a mix of powerhouse swing that you would expect from Krupa’s band, and a laid-back, slightly humourous vocal chorus from O’Day. It features a blasting trumpet solo near the end, and a wonderfully conceived modulation into the vocal chorus. The trumpet solo has been written out, and the little piano fill-in solo in the intro also. This is a medium to advanced chart in terms of difficulty, because the trumpet solo screams up to a high E, and 1st and 2nd trombones have to pick a top D out of the air at one point. No sax doubles. Vocal Key: D

STOP!THE RED LIGHT’S ON ***NEW*** [VOCAL] Arranged by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-2129 This is another well known up-tempo swing chart from Anita O’Day and the Gene Krupa Orchestra. The arrangement (transcribed from the Elton Hill original) not only features your vocalist and your band shouting ‘Stop!’, but also your Trumpet 2. Gene Krupa often featured Anita O’Day and Roy Eldridge together in the same arrangements. Let Me Off Uptown and North Carolina are other examples. This is a fine swinger from the height of the Krupa band. The vocal key is Bb.

KRUPA/LEE/MARTIN/MILLER SYMPHONY IN RIFFS

***NEW***

Arranged by Myles Collins and Alan Glasscock Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-1228 Benny Carter wrote this piece and recorded it with his band in 1933, and it became one of the defining swing charts of the era. He later scored this arrangement for Gene Krupa, and it is arguably even better than the original. The only changes from this classic was to score the chart for 8 brass and 5 saxes (originally 6 & 4 respectively). There are solo spots for tenors 1 & 2, trumpet 2, trombone 1 and drums, and all of the solos are written out in full, except the drum solo where the the first 4 (of 16) measures have been written out in Krupa style. This chart skips in a relaxed righton-the-beat swing style, and is great for the dancers. There are no sax doubles.

TUXEDO JUNCTION Arranged by Myles Collins Medium Easy $65.00 Cat: LL-1113 More bluesey than the Miller version, this arrangement from the Gene Krupa Orchestra makes a refreshing addition to any library. The chart features some lovely guitar and alto solo cameos and a solo spot for clarinet (1st tenor), plus some flowing brass choruses. Whilst the Miller-style trombone plunger figures are nowhere to be found, the brass sections do have the chance to wave their rubber near the end of the chart, and the trombones round the piece off with pedal note doo-wops. The saxes are scored for 3 altos & 2 tenors, and 1st tenor doubles clarinet. The guitar solos are cued onto the piano part should you lack a guitarist. The brass ranges are very moderate and we have graded the piece as medium easy, as the clarinet solo (as written) gets a bit busy in one bar.

AS PERFORMED BY PEGGY LEE THAT’S MY STYLE

[VOCAL]

Transcribed by Jon Harpin Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-1231 This is the late, great Peggy Lee at her laid back best. This tune is so relaxed it is almost horizontal, yet the band’s support of the vocalist is just perfect. Loud and snappy where it needs to be, yet in places as laconic as the vocal itself. The tempo is moderate and the brass ranges not overly demanding, though the band needs to be tight to do the chart justice. No sax doubles. Vocal range: G3 -A4; Vocal Key: F

WHY DON’T YOU DO RIGHT

Arranged by Myles Collins Medium Easy $65.00 Cat: LL-2081 This version was recorded in 1942 by Peggy Lee during her stay with the Benny Goodman band and Peggy made this song her own. Goodman’s chart has been faithfully transcribed, including all of the clarinet licks and solos, but have expanded the brass from the original 6 up to 8. The sax parts are written for solo clarinet, alto, 2 tenors & baritone though an extra alto sax part has been included (the tenor 1 part, written for alto) to give you a bit more flexibility in the section. The brass ranges are very moderate, and aside from the clarinet solo there are no surprises, so the chart is very playable. Female vocal range: A3-D5 (10 steps); Vocal key: F

AS PERFORMED BY DEAN MARTIN AIN’T THAT A KICK IN THE HEAD

***NEW***

[VOCAL]

Transcribed by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 LL-2112 This tune was a huge hit for Dean Martin, and the same version was more recently covered by Robbie Williams on his ‘Swing When You’re Winning’ album. The original chart has been transcribed here, and it will be a complete show-stopper for your band, whether your singer wants to be Dean or Robbie. There are no sax doubles, the 4th trombone is written for a bass, and the vocal key is D.

AS PERFORMED BY GLENN MILLER ADIOS Transcribed by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-99962 A hauntingly beautiful number from the Glenn Miller book. This is a faithful reproduction of the original arrangement, with correct Miller-voiced saxes throughout. Lead trumpet takes the solo line, and lead trombone has the muted middle solo. This chart is all about dynamics and blending of instruments, in order to achieve the right feel and expression. The notes are easy, but the band must be tight. Sax doubles: alto 1 on clarinet throughout; baritone on alto.

AMERICAN PATROL Transcribed by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-22406 There are many bands using a stock dance band arrangement of American Patrol, originally written for 5 saxes and 5 brass, and possibly then adapted for a bigger band. The problem is that it’s wrong on a number of counts, not least of which is that the correct key is Bb. The stock was in Ab and made many sectional passages lumpy and tricky to play. We have faithfully reproduced the original for you here, scored the instruments properly and tidied up the wrong notes and chord progressions. All of the expressions and dynamics are in place and easy to read. This is a really good value for money chart and will give your band the authentic Miller sound when you play it. Lead alto doubles clarinet, baritone sax doubles alto. Trumpet solo written for 2nd part, and cued on lead part.

ANVIL CHORUS Transcribed by Alan Glasscock Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-1080 Originally from Verdi’s Il Trovatore, Anvil Chorus was a big hit for the Glenn Miller band, thanks to the fabulous arrangement by Jerry Gray. This is faithfully restored to the original version, complete with fully written out solos for tenor and trumpet. The saxes are voiced AAATT throughout, as per the original, and all dynamics are marked. This is great in performance, and at 240 bpm you will need nimble fingers.

AT LAST

[VOCAL]

Arranged by Alan Glasscock Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-2029 Here is Miller’s beautiful vocal ballad. The Miller band had several versions of this chart, and this is drawn from the version in the film Orchestra Wives. Whilst it is not the complete film version (i.e., not with both male and female vocal), it has the same dramatic opening with the trumpet solo, then into the sax soli, followed by a trombone soli in even time, accompanied by piano obligato. Then follows the modulation into the vocal chorus (in the key of A) and final band flourish. Lead alto is on clarinet throughout, and baritone doubles alto. The trumpet ranges are very moderate, but because the lead trombone reaches a high C it is medium.

BOOM SHOT Arranged by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-1079 Boom Shot is a rare gem of a chart from the Glenn Miller book, co-written by Mr. Miller himself. It swings with a lilt (if not played too fast) and features your 2nd trumpet as well as solos (written) for 1st alto and trombone, and space for some background improvised piano too. The song itself is unusual, being not much more that an 8 bar melody, but the orchestration is superb and the series of modulations that run through the chart give the whole thing a series of constant kicks that keep it fresh and moving. Baritone doubles on alto.

CARIBBEAN CLIPPER Transcribed by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-1012 From the pen of Jerry Gray for the Glenn Miller Orchestra, this up-tempo swing chart features the piano (originally Mel Powell) as well as the drums in the shout chorus. A classic Miller technique is used to propel this number: unison saxes with brass punches providing rhythmic support, with the melody inverted later on to the brass, with sax figures backing. A wonderful middle passage of two trumpet pairs playing counterbalancing lines, one set open, one pair with wah-wah plungers, and both backed by glissing trombones and fill-phrased saxes is quite unique. Sax doubles: 1st alto to clarinet; 1st tenor to clarinet; baritone to alto.

CHATTANOOGA CHOO CHOO Arranged by Myles Collins Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-1009 Here is Glenn Miller’s Chattanooga Choo Choo, adapted from the version in the film Sun Valley Serenade. Essentially this is the same structure as vocal version, except that the chart has been modified to go straight from the instrumental chorus to the surprise key change into the final shout chorus. This chart is therefore only two and a half minutes long, but perfectly suited. The film soundtrack as well as the film itself was used in order to study the players’ fingerings and therefore get things right. Sax doubles: alto 1 & tenor 1 double clarinets; baritone doubles alto. Please note that the vocal version (see vocals section) doesn’t work as an instrumental as the band modulates from Db to C for the vocal, but from Db to F for the final chorus.

DANNY BOY Transcribed by Alan Glasscock Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-1037 Here is the lush and lovely Danny Boy (a.k.a. Londonderry Air) as played by the Miller Band. This chart features Miller-voiced saxes, beautifully balanced muted brass and some delicate piano work which is written out for your pianist in the places that matter. Though short, at just over two minutes, this chart is perfect for those gentler moments in a set, or for a late night closer. The lead trombone is the cameo-featured solo instrument and its range goes quite high - to top C#, hence we have graded this as a medium piece. Lead alto is on clarinet throughout. Second alto doubles clarinet and the baritone doubles bass clarinet, though we have also cued the passage with notes for the bari in case a bass clarinet is unavailable.

DON’T SIT UNDER THE APPLE TREE Arranged by Myles Collins Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-99505 This is Glenn Miller’s version that was originally performed by the Modernaires vocal group, except that we have turned it into an instrumental, whilst keeping the form true to the original. The band intro is there, as are the correct modulations and fills behind the melody lines. The trombones are written quite high in places (lead to high Db). We also offer this chart as a vocal version (see the vocals section).

GLEN ISLAND SPECIAL Transcribed by Myles Collins Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-1147 Glen Island Special is a very quick swing chart written by Eddie Durham for the Glenn Miller band, and on first hearing it you could be forgiven for thinking it to be a Basie chart. At 240 beats per minute this chart rips from start to finish. It features ad-lib solos for 2nd trumpet and 1st tenor and has plenty of visual appeal too, with much plunger/hat work in the brass. The saxes are scored for 3 altos and 2 tenors. The trumpet ranges are very moderate, with lead only reaching a G. The sax parts do require very nimble fingers.

M I L L E R

IT MUST BE JELLY Arranged by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-1179 Co-written by Chummy MacGregor (Miller’s pianist) and George “The Silver Fox” Williams (who wrote extensively for Ray Anthony) this Glenn Miller chart is both an excellent swing chart, as well as being a lot of fun. Opening in half-time the chart picks up into a lively swing tempo with the piano taking the first (improvised solo) chorus. Then the whole brass section gets their chance to sing the tune. There are solos for 1st tenor, 2nd trumpet and 1st alto (all written out in full), followed by a ripping sax soli. The chart plays out in true Miller style, building and building to a thundering climax which just swings like crazy. Baritone doubles alto.

JOHNSON RAG Transcribed by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-1150 Here is Glenn Miller’s version of Johnson Rag, transcribed from the original Bill Finegan chart with all of the solos (both tenors, trombone 1 and trumpet 2) written out. This tune features many of Miller’s trademarks, such as the steady build and overlayering of sections to increase the depth of sound and to establish the tune firmly in the mind, plenty of trumpet plunger figures, sudden changes of dynamics and rich ensemble scoring. The brass ranges are generally moderate, though the trombone solo does hit a high Db. Trombone solo has been re-scored onto the 4th trumpet part should your player not feel comfortable with the range. No sax doubles.

(I’VE GOT A GAL IN) KALAMAZOO

[VOCAL]

Arranged by Myles Collins and Alan Glasscock Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-2100 Here is the extended version of I’ve Got a Gal in Kalamazoo, made famous by the Glenn Miller Orchestra in the film Orchestra Wives. This chart differs significantly from the studio recorded version, and has a full chorus band intro, an interlude leading to the vocals, an extra band bridge into a vocal reprise, plus an added 24 bar band section to close. At five and a half minutes long, it’s a showstopper. The arrangement is scored for male vocalist plus a backing group of 5 - ideally girl, 3 tenors and baritone, and in the Saxes Alto 2 and Tenor 1 both double Clarinets. The Tenor solo is written on the 2nd Tenor part and also cross-cued on the male vocal part. The vocal whistling in the interlude is cued on the Piano part, and we have written out the opening Trumpet solo in full. Vocal keys D flat to G flat.

LITTLE BROWN JUG

Transcribed by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-99506 This version of I Know Why is adapted from the vocal version and is from the film Sun Valley Serenade. It includes an additional instrumental chorus not found in the earlier Miller recorded version. A lovely ballad, this conversion from the SATB vocal is true to the original in its structure, and naturally features Miller-scored reeds. Lead alto is on clarinet throughout and baritone doubles alto.

Transcribed by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-22408 Little Brown Jug was an early classic for the Miller band, first recorded in 1939, with the original arrangement done by Bill Finegan. This is an accurate transcription of that version, complete with fully written out tenor, trumpet and trombone solos. Many bands have a stock version of this chart in their libraries, but the problem with the stock arrangements is that the solos aren’t scored, the trombone solo is missing entirely, and there are numerous other errors, such as the sax section should be AAATT, there are incorrect voicings in the bridge, lack of backing behind the tenor solo and so on. This chart will recreate the authentic sound of the Miller band.

IN THE MOOD

LONG TALL MAMA

I KNOW WHY

Transcribed by Alan Glasscock Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-22406 For the first time ever, here is an authentic version. There is no definitive version of this Miller tune because it evolved over time, from civilian band, Air Force band, the film version (Sun Valley Serenade) and so on. This is a fusion of the civilian band and SVS version. The saxes are re-voiced to AAATT, so the 1st tenor player now has playable fingerings and the note-doubling in the stock has gone. The rhythm lines are now right, so the chart doesn’t come to a grinding halt in the middle 8 and trumpet solo. The sax solos are now for two tenors, as they should be. The backing behind the trumpet solo is correct, with no trombones here at all. The last fade-out chorus contains the quasi-bass solo, with saxes only playing the top note of the riff. The trumpet run-up at the end is now right and this chart has all of the articulations and dynamics needed to reproduce the authentic feel.

Arranged by Myles Collins Medium Easy $65.00 Cat: LL-1190 Long Tall Mama is a solid swing chart written for the Glenn Miller band by Billy May, though credited to his wife Arletta for fiscal reasons at the time. Miller recorded this with his civilian and USAAF bands, and there were subtle differences between the two. This is the later version, and features solo spots for alto, clarinet (on the alto 2 part), tenor and trumpet. We have written out all of the solos, though your players can improvise on the chords if they prefer. This chart would make a fine addition to your Miller collection, and is not that tricky to play. Alto 2 doubles clarinet.

MISSION TO MOSCOW Transcribed by Myles Collins Advanced $65.00 Cat: LL-99996 This song was written by Mel Powell when he was pianist with the Goodman orchestra, and it was a hit in 1942. Glenn Miller, whilst in charge of the US Army Air Force Training Command Band, used it as a vehicle for showing the clarinet skills of Peanuts Hucko. It also fit well into a series of numbers that were patriotic and supported the war effort - tunes such as Keep ‘Em Flying, Tail End Charlie and Jeep Jockey Jump. This is a great punchy swing chart, and you will need a good clarinet player to do it justice. Lead alto doubles clarinet, baritone doubles alto.

MOONLIGHT SERENADE Transcribed by Jeff Hest Medium $35.00 Cat: TBS0026 Moonlight Serenade is the Glenn Miller theme tune, and one of the best known big band tunes of all time. This is the original arrangement, transcribed by Jeff Hest, and is a completely faithful reproduction. Saxes are scored for clarinet, 2 altos and 2 tenors. The clarinet solo is fully written out and the arrangement comes with rehearsal/performance notes for the bandleader.

MOONLIGHT SONATA Transcribed by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-1084 A much underrated chart from the Glenn Miller book but one that makes the hair stand up on the back of your neck. The arrangement builds on Beethoven’s work for solo piano, and adds layers of rich texture and voicing in the way that only the Miller band could. We have written out the piano part in full, and the solo in the lead tenor part too, plus all of the dynamics and articulations needed to enable you to recreate the original sound. Apart from the piano part, this is not a difficult piece to perform. The brass ranges are moderate, the lead trumpet only reaching a B, but there are a number of sax doubles: altos and tenors all double clarinets and the baritone doubles alto sax and bass clarinet, although we have cued in notes for baritone at the appropriate places, should your baritone player not have a bass clarinet available. A wonderful concert piece or late-night closer.

THE NEARNESS OF YOU

[VOCAL]

Tramscribed by Alan Glasscock Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-2024 Here is the lovely ballad as performed by Glenn Miller, with vocal by Ray Eberly. Another lush ballad with the trademark Miller sax sound of clarinet lead over 2 altos and 2 tenors, with restrained brass backings. We have rated this medium as the lead trombone goes up to to a high C and 2nd to an Ab (otherwise it would be easy). The trombone phrases have been cross-cued onto the trumpet parts in case your trombone players are not comfortable with the range. This chart is also very singable as a female vocal, as the range is from C to D one ocave higher. Also included is a solo trombone part, so it can beplayed as an instrumental. .Sax doubles: baritone on alto throughout, and 2nd alto doubles clarinet. Vocal key: F

PENNSYLVANIA 6-5000 Transcribed by Jeff Hest Medium Difficult $40.00 Cat: TBS0035 This is another timeless Glenn Miller classic and must-have standard. This is a Jeff Hest transcription of the original song and includes fully written out solos for tenor and trumpet and cues for the band shouts.

PERFIDIA Arranged by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-99959 Originally entitled Tonight, Perfidia came into its own when given the Glenn Miller treatment, as a fabulous vocal showcase for the Modernaires. This arrangement is true to the original, except that we give the vocal chorus to the trombone section as a feature. This chart has the correct Miller voiced saxes, the surprise key change, the blend from brass to reed behind the cameo bass solo near the end, and all the written dynamics to help create the authentic sound.

RHAPSODY IN BLUE Transcribed by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-1056 This transcription is of the Miller version of Gershwin’s famous work. All of the solos have been written out (1st trumpet, 1st tenor, guitar and bass) and all the parts are accurately notated and articulated to give the real Miller feel. Both altos double clarinet, and baritone doubles alto. The trombones go up quite high (lead to high Db), though the parts are cross-cued onto the trumpet parts, making things a bit more versatile for bands with range limitations.

ST. LOUIS BLUES MARCH Transcribed by Alan Glasscock Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-1005 This is the version performed by Miller’s US Army Air Force band, and features trumpet and tenor solos. The fill-in alto solos are there too, as is a fully notated drum part. This is the definitive St. Louis Blues. This chart is a huge improvement over the stock chart published many years ago and is a must-have for all lovers of Miller.

SERENADE IN BLUE

[VOCAL]

Transcribed by Alan Glasscock Medium Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-2022 Serenade In Blue is another classic from the Glenn Miller Orchestra with the Modernaires, and Alan Glasscock’s transcription is a true reflection of the original.The chart is written for male vocalist with a 4-piece backing group. Perhaps the trickiest part of the chart is Billy May’s unique opening passage which needs to be played with confidence and a relaxed feel. The saxes have a number of instrument doubles: altos 1 & 2 on clarinets, tenor 2 on bass clarinet (in the intro), though this may be taken on tenor if needs be, and baritone on alto. The trumpet solo in the intro is meticulously written out too. All articulations and dynamics are indicated, enabling your band to reproduce one of Millers’ best known tunes. Vocal key: Eb

SKYLARK

[VOCAL]

Transcribed by Alan Glasscock Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-99401 This is a lush male vocal ballad from the Miller Orchestra, and it naturally makes use of Miller-voiced saxes. The voicings and harmonic structure of this arrangement are simply stunning, and completely complement the crooning vocal line. This is another quite superb transcription from Alan Glasscock which faithfully reproduces the original chart. Lead alto is on clarinet throughout, alto 2 doubles clarinet and baritone doubles alto. The trumpet ranges are very modest, with the lead only reaching Bb, making this chart playable by even moderate players. Vocal key: Db

SONG OF THE VOLGA BOATMEN Transcribed by Myles Collins Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-99967 Written by Bill Finegan for the Glenn Miller Orchestra, this number is a great example of the arranger’s art. He took a simplistic tune (Yo Ho Heave Ho) and turned it into a memorable piece, famous for its central passage of unison trombones followed four bars later by unison trumpets repeating the same phrase, both getting ever higher in their ranges, and leading to a huge tutti finish, embellished with a cameo written ad-lib solo trumpet. A true reproduction of the original.

THE SPIRIT IS WILLING Arranged by Myles Collins Medium Easy $65.00 Cat: LL-1177 A gentle, somewhat quirky chart from the Glenn Miller band of 1941 written by Jerry Gray as a two trumpet feature. This tune grows on you, has an easy tempo and is really smooth. The ‘hook’ is is in the harmonic structure - a rising and falling sequence up and down the scale chords of D, and the bouncy sax riff will leave you humming the thing.We have written out all of the trumpet solos, with mute indications and articulations, and have included the little piano fills near the end of the piece, and the drum licks too. There are no sax doubles. An easy chart, aside from a couple of trumpet high notes (1st & 2nd to written top C), which plays really well.

STORY OF A STARRY NIGHT

[VOCAL]

Arranged by John Ferguson Easy $65.00 Cat: LL-2417 Straight from the Miller book, the Story of a Starry Night was originally arranged for the Miller band by Bill Finegan, and has been re-created by John Ferguson. Based on Tchaikovsky’s Pathetique Symphony #6, this arrangement is one of a number of classical pieces given the big band treatment. Scored for Miller-voiced saxes throughout, this arrangement shimmers and shines. The vocal (in Ab) is beautifully supported by just the right amount of band backings, the brass ranges are very moderate, and the whole chart is lush and rich. Fabulous.

STRING OF PEARLS Transcribed by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-99965 There are many bands using a stock dance band arrangement originally written for 5 saxes and 5 brass, and possibly then adapted for a bigger band. The problem is that it’s wrong on a number of counts. This is a faithful reproduction of the original, and have scored the saxes properly (AATTA) including the two tenor chase solo, voiced the brass correctly, written out the piano solo and fills and tidied up the wrong notes and chord progressions. All of the expressions and dynamics are in place and easy to read. This will give your band the authentic Miller sound when you play it. Baritone sax on alto throughout; trumpet solo written for 2nd part, and cued on lead part; second tenor portion of sax duet cued on 2nd alto part.

SUN VALLEY JUMP Transcribed by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-2106 Another Glenn Miller classic, this was one of a long line of hits written by Jerry Gray. The original chart has been reproduced here, complete with the trumpet, tenor and clarinet solos, all of which are written out. This chart has a nice bounce feel to it, and plays at about the same tempo as In the Mood. It has been rated medium, mainly due to the range of the trumpet 2 solo (up to high E). Apart from that it is an medium easy chart. The clarinet solo is written on the alto 2 part, no other sax doubles.

SUNRISE SERENADE

***NEW***

Transcribed by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-1100 Originally released in 1939 on the RCA Bluebird label as the flipside to Moonlight Serenade, and the record became a huge hit for the Miller band. The original Miller chart was by Bill Finegan, first written for only 6 brass and later adapted for 8. This transcription is full of typical Miller color, with a pair of Clarinets carrying the melody in thirds, echoed by two tenors an octave below, all backed by wah wah brass. The original Tex Beneke sax solo is fully written out, as is the solo piano fill at the end of the chart. Saxes are written for 3 altos (1 & 2 doubling clarinet) and 2 tenors.

SWING LOW, SWEET CHARIOT

***NEW***

Transcribed by Alan Glasscock Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-1173 Bill Finegan wrote the original version of this arrangement for Glenn Miller’s civilain band, and adapted it for Miller’s USAAF band. This is the version that we offer here. Transcribed beautifully by Alan Glasscock, this rousing chart has instant appeal is a worth addition to your Miller collection. There are no sax doubles.

TAIL END CHARLIE Transcribed by Myles Collins Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-99963 Another Bill Finegan masterpiece, Tail End Charlie was made famous by Miller’s Army Air Force Training Command Band. The Tail-end Charlie was the rear gunner in a bomber - often the first line of defense - and probably the most exposed position of any crewmember. This mid-tempo swing chart has unison saxes carrying the theme, backed by muted brass figures, building into a key-change bridge to introduce the baritone solo. The whole number reaches a peak with a written-to-sound-adlib trumpet solo, before the theme returns, repeating to a fade-out (a well-tried Miller effect), with final tutti crescendo to end with.

TUXEDO JUNCTION Transcribed by Myles Collins Easy $65.00 Cat: LL-99983 This is the true Glenn Miller version, complete with written out trumpet solos for 2nd and 3rd trumpets. The solos are cross-cued to the 1st and 4th parts too, giving your other players the chance to play them too. The transcription is accurate, right down to the little cameo piano & drum solo breaks. All dynamics are clearly marked, so your band can achieve the authentic Miller sound. This is a straightforward chart to play. This sounds best if the band is relaxed and doesn’t rush the tempo!

WE’LL MEET AGAIN

[VOCAL]

Arranged by Myles Collins Easy $65.00 Cat: LL-2068 Another nostalgic song from the early WWII years, We’ll Meet Again remains as popular as ever. It is a particularly good closing number for a nostalgia gig or concert as it is not a long arrangement, though a very effective one. The saxes are Millervoiced with clarinet lead and baritone on alto throughout. In Eb, the vocal range is A below to Bb above middle C, and is well within the range of most male and female vocalists. Lead trumpet to top C#. Vocal Key: Eb

GLENN MILLER/MINGUS BIG BAND WHEN JOHNNY COME MARCHING HOME

[VOCAL]

Arranged by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-2078 This patriotic wartime tune was originally done by Glenn Miller with Tex Beneke and Marion Hutton and the Modernaires supplying the vocals.This is a medium swing tempo chart that kicks. This has been scored for male & female vocalist with a 4piece backing group, though the arrangement works well as a boy girl duet or as a solo vocal (we have included a solo vocal sheet in the pack). The tenor sax line that would have been missing when Beneke took the vocal is scored back in, thereby keeping your section complete. This chart is true to the Bill Finegan original, and there are no sax doubles. Trumpets 2,3 & 4 need to be able to reach high C for the unison passage before the tenor solo in the last chorus. Vocal Key: G

BUDDY MORROW/BUDDY RICH AS PERFORMED BY BUDDY MORROW NIGHT TRAIN Transcribed by Alan Glasscock Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-1033 Here is Buddy Morrow’s thundering rendition of Night Train. What is unusual is the speed of the chart - a slowish 85 bpm - and, as a result, the arrangement has a solid, rumbling momentum that carries all before it. The melody and solo is taken by the lead (solo) trombone. Alan Glasscock has scored the chart meticulously, so your band can capture the feel and get the phrasing absolutely right in order to recreate what is one of Morrow’s finest performances. There are no sax doubles.

AT SUNDOWN

***NEW***

Arranged by Myles Collins Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-1140 This is Artie Shaw’s 1939 version from the time when his first band was at its height. Apart from the clarinet solo, the chart is not too hard, and swings freely with good solid bounce. The arrangement has been adapted from the original 3 trumpet 3 trombone line-up, to a regular 4/4 brass section, and the reeds are scored for clarinet, 2 altos and 2 tenors. Shaw’s Clarinet solo has been written out, along with the tenor and trumpet solos, but the piano solo has been left as an improvisation. All the soloists have the chords on their parts should they wish to do their own solo. This is a fun chart, quite quick but a full four minutes long. There are no sax doubles.

BACK BAY SHUFFLE Transcribed by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-1151 Back Bay Shuffle is a jump tempo swing chart from the great Artie Shaw orchestra, perfect for dancing. This has been transcribed as per the original, though expanding it to 8 brass in the process. All solos (clarinet, trumpet, trombone, tenor and piano) are written out in full, as are the correct drum patterns. The reeds are scored for solo clarinet, 2 altos & 2 tenors. Everything is here: correct sax voicings, dynamic markings & phrasing indications so that your band can recreate that Shaw sound.

BEGIN THE BEGUINE Transcribed by Jeff Hest Medium $50.00 Cat: JE9728 This is a truly authentic transcription of Artie Shaw’s classic version of Begin the Beguine. Jeff Hest has meticulously notated every detail of this famous chart. Since it was such an important song in the genre, this arrangement creates a great opportunity to teach your students about the history of the big band.

ARTIE SHAW/FRANK SINATRA CONCERTO FOR CLARINET (PART 1) Transcribed by Myles Collins Advanced $65.00 Cat: LL-1013 Here is part 1 of Artie Shaw’s stunning Concerto for Clarinet, written by the great man himself. Following a big tutti opening comes a stylish clarinet cadenza intro, with band backing and solo piano infills. The piano then picks up into 8-beat boogie style with a 24 bar solo, answered by the clarinet. Solos are for trumpet, trombone, alto and tenor with a final clarinet solo flourish. This is Shaw’s defining work for solo clarinet and big band, but be warned: you will need a very good pianist and clarinet player to carry this off. At nearly 4 and a half minutes this is only the half of it. The whole piece is scored for clarinet, 2 altos, 2 tenors, 8 brass and 4 rhythm. All solos are fully written out, though naturally your players can improvise if they wish.

CONCERTO FOR CLARINET (PART 2) Transcribed by Myles Collins Advanced $65.00 Cat: LL-99407 Here is part 2 of Artie Shaw’s stunning Concerto for Clarinet. The chart opens with four stylish clarinet cadenzas, after which the drummer picks up the tempo with a floor-tom solo, joined by solo clarinet for 40 measures. Briefly into 3/4 time for band chord stabs, the clarinet & drum solo continues. Another time shift for more stabs, then three tutti swing choruses to a false finish. The clarinet solo wraps things up with a further four cadenza passages. This is a very challenging work for solo clarinet, and will need a great player to pull it off. The saxes are scored for 2 altos and 2 tenors. The clarinet range is up to super C.

FRENESI

Arranged by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-2100 Frenesi was a tune popularized and played by many of the well known bands of the late ‘30s and early ‘40s. This version is an adaptation of the Artie Shaw version, but re-scored for a regular big band line-up, as Shaw’s chart made heavy use of strings, and had an orchestral flavour to it. We have kept the structure of the original, and have transcribed all of the solos (clarinet, tenor, trumpet & piano). The re-voicing of the chart means that the saxes (written C,A,T,T,B) have plenty of doubles. The alto doubles clarinet & flute, both tenors double clarinet and the bari doubles alto. The chart floats between swing and rhumba, your players will need to be alert!

INDIAN LOVE CALL Arranged by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-1120 This version of Indian Love Call is a variation on the vocal version that we offer and is a clarinet feature. (see the vocals section for a more complete description). The structure is the same as the vocal, true to Shaw’s original, except that we have changed the vocal chorus to an ad-lib clarinet solo, and have written some punchy yet supportive backings coming from the band. After the opening drum & clarinet solo passage, the band is still scored with the falsetto singing, so no excuses for the brass not to get involved. The saxes are scored for solo clarinet, 2 altos and 2 tenors. All the saxes double clarinets (mainly unison passages) though it won’t really matter if the alto 2 (your baritone player) doesn’t play any clarinet parts. We have scored his lines as the lowest voice in the harmonized clarinet passages.

NON-STOP FLIGHT Transcribed by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-1161 Non-Stop Flight is a really bouncy swing chart and is perfect for dancing to. The pulse is infectious and will really get the feet tapping. Written by Artie Shaw, it naturally features the clarinet, and also tenor sax. All of the solos have been written out, including the solo licks and fills, plus the obligato clarinet solo that floats over the rest of the band in the last chorus. Your clarinet player will need to be dextrous, as some pretty nimble fingerwork will be needed. The brass ranges are moderate, and it’s not a tough blow for them. The saxes are scored for solo clarinet, 2 altos and 2 tenors. The original 6 brass has been expanded up to 8. If you are looking for a good dance chart, or a stunning concert piece, you’ve just found it!

104

SOFTLY AS IN A MORNING SUNRISE Transcribed by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-2405 One of Artie Shaw’s most endearing charts, this was scored as a mid-tempo swing chart by Jerry Gray, later of Glenn Miller fame. The chart has been transcribed and scored for a full band line-up of 5 reeds & 8 brass. The saxes are written for solo clarinet, 2 altos and 2 tenors. The 2nd tenor takes the solo (written out) and Shaw’s solos are also notated in full. Alto 1 and tenor 1 double clarinets, and there is an optional clarinet double on the alto 2 part. The trombone solo, also written, is on the 1st part. A good concert piece or equally suitable for dancing. The brass ranges are moderate and the only tricky bit is the final clarinet run-up which goes to a high A.

TRAFFIC JAM Transcribed by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-1146 Artie Shaw had many great swing charts to his name, but few were as punchy and as powerful as Traffic Jam. It fairly rips along at a quick 240 beats a minute, yet it never sounds forced or rushed. The original has been transcribed, including all the solos (drums, clarinet, tenor, trombone & piano), and expanded the chart to a full 8 brass. The saxes are scored for clarinet, 2 altos and 2 tenors. The chart kicks off with a 4 bar drum solo leading into a rising chromatic dimished passage, then the main chorus with the clarinet flying over the top of the band. A quick tenor solo follows, then back to the band blasting away. There is then a wonderful bell-tone bridge leading to alternating clarinet and trombone solos over just bass and drums, more band choruses, a piano solo and a couple of huge shout choruses to end. The band parts are not hard, despite the speed of the chart. It’s only Mr. Shaw’s bits that need nimble fingers, though your clarinet player can always improvise over the chords instead. This is a real beauty of a chart, and a must-have in any book.

AS PERFORMED BY FRANK SINATRA COME FLY WITH ME

[VOCAL]

Transcribed by Jon Harpin Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-85400 This is Frank Sinatra at his best. This chart is a transcription of Sinatra with the Count Basie Band, taken from Sinatra at the Sands. It features the original band intro giving you time for a big introduction to your vocalist. The chart is also marked with an optional start point, just before the vocal, should you wish to shorten things. Some muted trumpet fills have been removed to keep things cleaner. There are some sax doubles: altos go to clarinets and tenors to flutes. The vocal is in Bb, with a range from Bb to D (one octave and 3 tones) and has been written out to give your vocalist a good feel of Sinatra’s phrasing. All in all this chart is exceptional.

I GET A KICK OUT OF YOU

[VOCAL]

Transcribed by Jon Harpin Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-2404 Taken down from Sinatra’s 1962 Reprise recording, I Get a Kick Out of You has become a Sinatra classic and a much requested tune. The original arrangement was done by Neal Hefti (a familiar name to Count Basie fans) and his style is clearly apparent throughout the chart. Jon Harpin has produced a superb recreation of the original, and it swings from start to finish. Sinatra’s vocal line has been written out, for those of you who wish to emulate the master. The chart is technically not that difficult, but needs crispness and precision to make it come alive. The trombones are scored for 3 tenors and bass, and there are no sax doubles. Vocal key: Db, D

I’VE GOT YOU UNDER MY SKIN

[VOCAL]

Transcribed by Myles Collins & Patrick Gazard Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-2014 This chart is a transcription of Sinatra with the Count Basie Band, taken from Sinatra at the Sands. Everything has been included, from the rumbling baritone sax line, the big trombone build after the first vocal chorus, the wailing trombone solo and even the little piano fills and tinkles. We have re-scored the saxes to a regular AATTB section and have removed the clarinet & bass clarinet doubles from the original, as we recognize that not all bands have a bass clarinet at hand. All dynamics are clearly written, and the vocal part replicates Sinatra’s performance. The brass ranges are moderate other than the trombone solo which is up to high Db, though your player can always improvise on the chords provided. Key of Db.

THE LADY IS A TRAMP

***NEW*** [VOCAL]

Transcribed by Jon Harpin Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-2122 This chart is a transcription of the Billy Byers chart as performed by Frank backed by Woody Herman at Madison Square Garden in 1974. The opening is thunderingly brassy and establishes a great contrast to the quiet start of the vocal. The first vocal chorus is backed mainly by Saxes and Trombone licks, but builds in intensity to the half-step modulation. From here the arrangement powers its way to the finish line, and swings like crazy all the way. The vocal keys are Bb and B.

LUCK BE A LADY

[VOCAL]

Transcribed by Jon Harpin Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-2025 Adapted from the original Billy May arrangement of Sinatra’s Reprise recording, this kicks off with the slow, almost colla voce intro, which picks up into a thumping swing chart. Everything is here: dynamics, articulations, phrasing, modulations, the works. Strings were used in the original recording, those have been re-scored into the band, to make the chart suitable for a 5/4/4/4 line-up. At 5 minutes 15 seconds this is a long chart, and makes for a great vocal feature. Lead alto doubles clarinet. Keys: Db, D, Eb.

MY KIND OF TOWN

[VOCAL]

Transcribed by Jon Harpin Medium Easy $65.00 Cat: LL-1456 This tune was originally written for the Rat Pack-esque film Robin and the Seven Hoods. Wonderfully melodic and visually exciting in concert, it was Sinatra’s theme tune for some 15 years, his show-stopper and frequent show-ender. This version is transcribed from Billy May’s version from Sinatra at the Sands with the Basie Band. It’s all here: the creamy opening verse with the lush brass voicings leading into the punchy swing of the main vocal, with the successive modulations from F to G to Ab and the powerhouse modal riffs to finish. The lead alto doubles flute. Keys: F/G/Ab

NEW YORK, NEW YORK

[VOCAL]

Transcribed by Jon Harpin Medium Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-2111 One of Sinatra’s most enduring hits, the theme from New York, New York is also one of his most memorable, and will be immediately familiar to all audiences from the moment that the band kicks off the signature opening. Transcribed beautifully by Jon Harpin from the original Don Costa chart, this arrangement has all the elements - the slick key change, the shifts in tempo and Sinatra’s vocal line in full - making this chart an absolute must-have tune. The vocal keys are D to Eb and no sax doubles.

PENNIES FROM HEAVEN

***NEW*** [VOCAL]

Transcribed by Jon Harpin Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-2109 Frank Sinatra and Count Basie combined brilliantly on their 1962 album ‘SinatraBasie,’ featuring arrangements by Neal Hefti. From Basie’s opening intro right to the last note this chart was and still is a classic. It has been transcribed here by Jon Harpin, and adapted from the original 5 trumpet 3 trombone studio line-up, to a more regular 4-4 section, with the bass trombone on 3rd and an optional 4th trombone part. The vocal key is Ab and there are no sax doubles.

SATURDAY NIGHT IS THE LONELIEST NIGHT OF THE WEEK

YOU MAKE ME FEEL SOYOUNG

[VOCAL]

Arranged by Jon Harpin Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-2121 This version of You Make Me Feel So Young is the one performed by Frank Sinatra with the Count Basie Orchestra on the “Sinatra at the Sands” album, later re-issued on the Reprise collection, and it is arguably one of Sinatra’s finest numbers. The original Quincy Jones chart has been wonderfully transcribed and adapted (for 8 brass) by Jon Harpin, and includes the muted trumpet solo written out, and all of the little licks and fills on the drum part which add so much punch. The vocal keys are G and Ab, and there are no sax doubles.

ZING! WENT THE STRINGS OF MY HEART

[VOCAL]

Arranged by Dick Burlant Easy $65.00 Cat: LL-2012 This was recorded by Frank Sinatra in December 1960 for the Ring-a-Ding album, but remained unreleased until 1990 when the master tapes of the original recording were rediscovered. This chart is a Sinatra gem, and even includes the rarely-heard opening verse. Beautifully transcribed and adapted by Jon Harpin from the original Johnny Mandel arrangement, to incorporate the strings back into a regular big band line-up, this chart is unique and deserves a place in everyone’s library. Lead alto doubles clarinet briefly. Vocal key: Db

MISC. INSTRUMENTALS CHUCHO Transcribed by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-1004 Chu Cho is a wonderful Latin number, from the pen of the great Paquito D’Rivera, written for Mario Bauza and his Afro-Cuban Orchestra. This tune simply oozes style, and also offers a chance to show off the improvisation skills of your lead alto (or tenor), baritone and lead trombone.

ONE NOTE SAMBA Arranged by Wally Menard Difficult $65.00 Cat: LL-1083 One Note Samba has been done many a time, usually in a straight-ahead, slightly dull, gentle Latin feel. Not this version! Wally Menard has pulled off a really creative job of writing to give this chart a totally unique signature. It kicks off with a trumpet/ trombone answer-back intro, followed by unison saxes, and trumpets to establish the tune, all the while with backings building up throughout the first chorus. Then comes a complete change of feel and form in the middle of the chart. Unison trombones, baritone and rhythm, overlaid with saxes and screaming trumpet figures build and build until, with a tangible feeling of relief, the chart collapses back into a gentle Latin feel.

[VOCAL] PICK UP THE PIECES

Transcribed by John Ferguson Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-2114 Sinatra recorded this song a number of times during his career, but the most swinging version was the Billy May arrangement that John Ferguson has transcribed here. In typical May style, it is punchy, crisp and offers a great balance between the vocal passages and some fine ensemble work. Not too long, at a shade over 2 minutes, this is a memorable chart and a must for all Sinatra lovers. There are no sax doubles in this chart and the vocal key is C.

THAT’S LIFE

FRANK SINATRA/MISC.

[VOCAL]

Transcribed by Jon Harpin Medium Easy $65.00 Cat: LL-2026 Another great tune from Frank Sinatra’s Reprise days. The original version of this chart featured female backing vocals and a Leslie-style organ. We appreciate that this limits the playability of such an arrangement, so Jon Harpin has creatively transcribed and re-scored for a standard big band line-up. The backing vocals are shared between a quartet of 2 saxes, trumpet & trombone, and the opening organ solo has also been scored into the sax parts should your pianist not have the appropriate bag of tricks to make a nice organ noise. There are no sax doubles and the brass ranges are moderate to low. Vocal key: G, Ab

Arranged by Myles Collins Medium $65.00 Cat: LL-99998 A big band version of the Average White Band hit, following the same structure as the original. This number is just a real laid-back groove. The saxes take the main riff with trombones and guitar backing. The chart really needs an electric bass, especially a bassist who can slap. There’s solo space for anyone in the sax or brass sections, and the vocal line of ‘Pick Up the Pieces’ is cued in too!

POR UNA CABEZA Arranged by Myles Collins Easy $65.00 Cat: LL-2099 Por Una Cabeza is the famous Argentinian Tango from the film ‘Scent of a Woman’. Our arrangement is very easy to play, with low brass ranges, yet makes for great Tango. The verse is played by flute, 2 clarinets, a muted trumpet & rhythm section, with the whole band entering for the Tango ‘chorus’. This chart will make a useful addition to any library, for those rare occasions when someone asks you to play a Tango. The saxes are scored as flute, 2 clarinets, tenor & baritone.

Transcribed by Alan Glasscock Easy $65.00 Cat: LL-99768 Ours is the great Johnny Mercer & Margaret Whiting version of this classic vocal duet. The chart itself relies on the interplay and chemistry between your two vocalists. The band backings are easy and add just the right amount of punch when needed. In this arrangement the saxes are all written to play clarinets, but recognizing that not all sax players double clarinets all of the sax parts are double-sided, so that one side is as written and the reverse side is scored for a regular sax section: this way you will have more flexibility. The brass ranges are moderate and the chart is very playable and makes a great vocal feature. Female Vocal Range: Ab3 -Bb4; male vocal range: Ab2 -Eb43 -B4; Vocal key: Db

Both altos are on clarinets, the brass ranges are very moderate (lead trumpet only up to an A) and the vocal ranges are not challenging. Vocal key: Eb

There are some sax doubles: altos 1 & 2 and the baritone are on clarinets throughout, with both tenors staying on tenor.

WHEN WILL MY ORDER BE SHIPPED? We make every effort to process orders as quickly as possible; indeed, many go out the same day as placed. Usually, orders containing readily available items will be shipped within 2 to 3 business days, while most orders containing out-of-stock items will ship within 7-14 days, with some exceptions as detailed below. For all orders placed online we will always let you know within five business days when you can expect your order if it has not already been shipped. We try to make as many jazz-related items available as possible. Many of our arrangements are either imports or are self-produced by the arranger. Due to this, shipping times for some items may depend on the availability and/or travel schedule of the arranger. All of these arranger/musicians are actively working and touring so there may be a delay in re-stocking their arrangements. If there will be a significant delay in shipping an item you have ordered, we will let you know.

WHAT IF I WANT SOMETHING THAT I DON’T SEE LISTED ANYWHERE, OR SOMETHING THAT ISN’T JAZZ? We have a wide network of suppliers for arrangements, CDs, videos, books, and all types of sheet music, ranging from the million-sellers to the most obscure. Please let us know if you did not find what you were looking for.
