It would be difficult to find a more perfect holiday concert opener than this new arrangement by Rich DeRosa. It begins with a powerful and jubilant fanfare introduction that melds seamlessly into a f...

For the last few years, Rich DeRosa has been writing the most wonderful, original charts based on the most revered Christmas carols and songs. Those charts are some of Sierra Music's best selling musi...

This up-dated issue of the former Creative World chart is Hooper at his best ...... musical, clever and always very interesting. The opensolo section is a blues and gives your players a chance to romp...

This is a very hip, slow, 3/4 version, with lush, warm voicings. You'll love the harmonic progressions! Tenor saxophone solo space builds to an exciting, emotional shout section. Again, very reasonabl...

A loping, swinging version, featuring alto saxophone throughout. Your lead alto will love doing this chart. Very playable for most bands. Reasonable ranges and great shout choruses make this a very ne...

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...

This chart was recorded by the Count Basie Orchestra on the CD 'I Told You So.' It is a feature for your drummer. It also has solo space for tenor saxophone and piano (a la Basie). This rip-roaring ch...

Exactly as recorded on the View From the Side CD, this wonderful chart was written for Pete Christlieb to be featured on tenor saxophone. It is a tenor feature throughout. Lots of blowing space for yo...

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)...
