Big Band pour les professionnels

A poetic tribute to retiring Mayor Susan Hammer. The vocal part can be performed as an instrumental with flugelhorn substitute. The tune has some lyrics but the voice part also functions like instrume...

A medium tempo shuffle with solos for piano, tenor, and trumpet. Builds to a sustained climax. Contemporary lines with lots of historical ?ériff' like material as well. An favorite for audiences and m...

This is a medium-up tempo chart in G minor with lost so contrapuntal ideas for each section of the band. Gradually builds to a boiling climax. After a sax soli there are solos for alto, trumpet, tromb...

Great chart as recorded by Louie Bellson. No score.

Speedy 12 bar blues. Exciting sax solo + full brass soli without rhythm.

Funk shuffle featuring alto sax, ala David Sanborn. Relaxed groove

Haunting ballad for solo trombone. Composed for Bill Watrous. Some sax dbls.

Relaxed samba features trombone or piano. Lovely melody and changes. Fun and challenging sax soli. Lots of solo spaces.

Half-time shuffle (1/2 note = 96). Oddly-constructed phrase lengths (7+6+4) is fun for both the listener and the player. Solo space for any sax followed by any brass followed by guitar, piano or bass....

Toes will be tapping when playing this jazz/rock tune. The chart moves along with a happy feel that's fun to play and definitely one that will leave your audience singin.

A nice relaxed rock style with close-voiced ensemble in the introduction and clusters at the end. You have the option of 'opening up' this arrangement for additional solos.

The unique blend between girl's voice (optional) and flute will introduce another color that will set your band apart from the others.

Another chart recorded by Doc Severinsen based on themes of Bela Bartok. This clever adaptation will make your band a FESTIVAL WINNER.

Latin rendition of Billy Mitchell tune. Orchestrated by Paul Lopez. Solo: Trumpet. Recorded by the HMA Salsa Jazz Orchestra 'California Salsa' on Sea Breeze Jazz.

A wonderfully different and clever mixture of a Guajira style with a blues form. Chart opens up for plenty of soloing. Flute doubles. Medium tempo. Interesting last chorus.

Dedicated to the great Chick Corea, Catch Me Up was inspired by excitement, vision, and intrigue communicated through Chick's music.

A burning adaptation of the Michael Brecker tenor feature from his album Two Blocks From the Edge.

The melody is relaxed, playful, and even crazy at times. A funk shuffle groove provides the foundation for this superb chart.

This burning contemporary original will be an audience-pleasing opener or festival chart, and your band will dig it too. It's a 12 bar (but not a blues) form in C minor. The melody is stated by a trio...

Medium-up Jazz Waltz. Wonderful melody set over a feel-good C-major pedal point. Excellent opener or closer. Tenor & Flugel have melody and jazz solos. Recorded on the Valley Jazz Orchestra CD Free Fo...

A tribute to breadcrumb-and-popcorn-hungry ducks at your local park. Fun calypso in C-minor. Jazz solos in each section. Mouthpiece quacking in the trumpets. Title track of the Valley Jazz Orchestra C...
