Bill Holman's Big Bands have always been exciting and fresh, primarily due to his writing. This chart, on one of our best known standards, doesn't fail. It has limited brass ranges, but roars through...

A medium tempo, very interesting setting for this well-known standard. Lots of unison lines and superb counterpoint make this a masterful chart. You will NOT be disappointed in this one, or any of Hol...

The great Strayhorn tune set in a wonderfully playable chart with Holman's unique, clever approach. There are no unreasonable ranges in this piece, and there is solo space for alto, tenor and trombone...
