Arrangements originaux big band

Ce classique d'Ella Fitzgerald est une transcription fidèle de sa version et n'a rien à voir avec la version instrumentale de Les Brown / Skippy Martin. Nous avons même écrit la ligne vocale d'Ella po...

L'orchestre Goodman a interprété une version vocale similaire de ce morceau lors du concert au Carnegie Hall, avec Martha Tilton comme chanteuse principale. Il s'agit d'une version instrumentale du mo...

Corner Pocket a été écrit par le héros méconnu du groupe Count Basie, Freddie Green, et son titre fait référence à l'endroit que Green appelait le sien - le coin de la section rythmique. Nous avons tr...

This piece has been in the catalog for a while, but it has been totally recomposed and notated in Finale. It now comes with a full score (and parts). It was written for Stan Kenton, and it features a...

Another re-scoring of the original arrangement done for Stan Kenton. A lower key for younger players. No solo piano. A GREAT CROWD PLEASER which serves as a wonderful encore piece. (10 brass)

This is about an 8-minute, multi-sectional composition. It is beautifully melodic and interesting, while moving from mood to mood and using various tempi and styles. It is a terrific piece to program...

This chart is a sensational version of the old standard, all dressed up with a new look only Holman could create. Lots of counterpoint (surprise!). Humorous and clever. Solo space for trumpet, alto sa...

Holman really gets into his imitative writing with this chart. Solo space for drums, trumpet and alto. 1st trpt. does not go higher than a written D#. Great writing....great chart! 5-4-4-4

Bill Holman's Great Big Band was a sensational ensemble! That album has just been re-issued on Mosaic Records. This chart is an example of Bill's talent for investing old material with brilliant new i...

Joyful Noise Suite 2

Don Sebesky has taken Ellington's melody and created a warm, sensuous chart which will be played for years to come. The ensemble voicings and colorful harmonies are set in a kind of Li'l Darlin'-ish t...

A monumental piece of big band jazz. This was written for Les' fantastic Chicago band. It is an extensive work (about 12 minutes) which features trumpet (or flugelhorn) throughout in various settings...

As the title implies, this chart does not rest for a moment. It moves from one tempo to another, doubling up and then doubling in tempo again. Needless to say, Stop/Go is an exciting excursion into th...

The finale to this wonderful suite is set at a fast pace, with a great theme (unison trombones and tenors to start) and lots of solo spaces for tenor sax, trumpet and drums. Holman really out does him...

Oliver Nelson wrote the most beautiful melodies!! This is an alto saxophone feature and was recorded by Phil Woods and the Jazz Interactions Orchestra in 1967 (hear it on the Verve Jazz Masters 48 CD)...

Exactly as recorded by Oliver Nelson's Orchestra and featuring Joe Newman on trumpet. This chart is very simple in concept and it can be played by even the youngest bands. The trumpet feature section...

As recorded on the brilliant CD Afrique, by the Count Basie Orchestra, this lovely piece features piano and/or tenor sax (or whomever) in a medium-slow, lilting 12/8 feel. It also features a nice sax...

As recorded on the brilliant CD Afrique by the Count Basie Orchestra, this chart was originally written for a Jimmy Smith album. It's a 12/8 Blues feel, with room for piano, trumpet and alto saxophone...

This is a magnificent, three-movement work which, when written, redefined big band scoring. It has been published in such a way that any one of a number of soloists could be featured throughout .........
