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 youll 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 youve 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 - were 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. Were so confident that youll 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

This is one happy chart! It starts with the trombones laying down a nifty bass line,

things cook on from there. Solos for piano, tenor saxophone and trumpet. This is a
great crowd-pleaser.

SUNBURST MOVEMENT I
***NEW***

Difficult
$67.00
Cat: SMP-761
David Bakers music is wonderful to play because of its originality and sense of
adventure. This is no exception. Written for his amazing jazz ensemble at Indiana
University, this chart, set in a fast swing tempo, just sails along at a fast clip, exciting
all who hear (or play) it. The trumpet section plays the melody in unison and things
swing on from there. There is solo space for alto, trumpet and trombone. There is
also a killer sax section soli. Your band and audiences will love this one. 5/5/5/3

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.

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 Fosters Loud
Minority Big Band.

2nd trombone is featured throughout this arrangement, opening with the melody

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

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.

KING CHARACTER
Medium Difficult
$55.00
Cat: 51220
Originally written to feature legendary veteran bassist Earl May, longtime member of
Frank Fosters 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.

LITTLE CHICAGO FIRE

Medium Difficult

Cat: 51234
This up-tempo swinger is dedicated to one of Chicagos 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.

TOMORROW'S BLUES TODAY
***NEW***

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

Medium Difficult
$55.00
Cat: 51224
One of Frank Fosters 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 arent 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.

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.

This arrangement is part of Frank Fosters Vintage Basie Series, compositions performed
and/or recorded by Count Basie and his world famous New Testament orchestra
between 1953 and 1960. Its 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 Youngs screaming open trumpet, and the piece ends with the
customary dominant 13th chord with raised 11th.

From the Count Basie library. This medium up-tempo blues features solos by flute,
4th trumpet, 2nd trombone, and 2nd tenor. Its 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 theres a four-measure break for a climaxing cadenza in tempo before the closing
chord. The soloist cant 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.

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,

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

The chart ends in a half-time romp with humor and joy.
SPACE DOZEN
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

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

This arrangement of the Andrews Sisters version of Apple Blossom Time shows a
more sentimental side of the trios 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]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Mr Anthonys 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

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

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 Anthonys 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

Saxes are scored for a regular section and there are no sax doubles.

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

Arguably the most famous number of the Charlie Barnet Orchestra, Skyliner is a

solo can be taken by lead or second.

This version is a transcription of Basies performance from the Sinatra at the Sands

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.

BASIE BOOGIE
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 Basies 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
Medium

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.

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 dont 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 Sinatras phrasing.
CORNER POCKET
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. Basies 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.

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.

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
Sinatras 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 is one of the great tracks by Neal Hefti, from The Atomic Mr Basie album. This

Newman and Thad Jones solos, scored on trumpet 2 and trumpet 4, plus the piano

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

need a pretty good pianist to do it justice. There are no sax doubles.

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

This is NOT the Hefti stock chart that was issued many years ago. This is the

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.

Bobby Darin had a big hit with this tune, and other singers hae also covered it very

the phrasing to improve the swing. The vocal is as per Bobby Darins 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

This is the theme tune for the Dorsey Band, and perhaps the definitive solo vehicle

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.

In many ways this Sy Oliver chart written for Dorsey was ahead of its time, with its

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***

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

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 soloand piano fills too. The lead trumpet range in the last bar goes to a high
F, but weve cued alternative notes which keep the range here to top C#. No sax
doubles, and the brass ranges are moderate. The saxes take the vocalchorus,
backed by trombones and trumpets. Vocal version cat: LL-23223V.
OPUS ONE
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
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
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 trumpets solo space.

Tommy Dorsey first recorded a version of Clarence Smiths Boogie Woogie in the late
1930s. This chart is not it. Its 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
Advanced
$65.00
Cat: LL-99956
Sy Oliver wrote a number of memorable charts for the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra,

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 was one of Duke Ellingtons early big hits. Many arrangements have been

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.

This version is from Ella Fitzgeralds 1966 album Whisper Not, with the original

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.

A classic Cole Porter song from 1932, Night and Day was a must-have number for

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

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

A fabulous chart from the Goodman band of the early 40s, and, quite naturally, a

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 wont 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

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.

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 Powells 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!

tenors and is has been augmented up to 8 brass, from the original 5. This is a fine

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

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

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

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

This is simply a great up-tempo jump jive number, made famous by Glen Gray, and to

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
its 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 cant hit high F# and A. All solos are written out

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.

adherance to the written dynamics in order to deliver the right feel. At just over 2

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 Heaths 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

the lead trumpet has to hit high E (and optional high G).

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

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.

$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
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

Medium Easy
$65.00
Cat: LL-99402
This version of SwinginShepherd 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.

though your clarinet player can improvise his/her own solo.
HALLELUJAH TIME
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.

THING CALLED JOE
[VOCAL]

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
Woodys 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 cant 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

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.
THATS WHERE IT IS
Advanced

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 bands 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. Bobs
chart is written for 5 trumpets, but is equally playable with 4. Although it is a fast
number its not that hard, once youve got your fingers round it!
WOODCHOPPERS BALL

Here is the great Woodchoppers Ball. Co-written and first performed by Woody
Herman, this chart became a mainstay in the repertoire of all Hermans bands. Our
version is based on Woodys, 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.

B-19
***NEW***

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
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.

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]

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. Doncha 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

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.

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 Forrests vocal is written out assung, and the vocal key is G.

trumpet, lead alto and naturally your singer too. We have written out James solo
and Willie Smiths 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,
its not that hard to play. The vocal key is C and there are no sax doubles.

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 Smiths alto solos are fully written
out, as are the first 100 measures of the cadenza as played by James. This is a raw, energy

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 weve cued
the 3rd trumpet just in case.

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

$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 Harrys 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
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.

This tune was written by Louis Armstrong and used by him as his theme tune for a

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

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.

This version of Two OClock 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.

Cat: LL-1229
Adapted from the 1956 recording, El Manisero (the Peanut Vendor) remains one of
Stan Kentons 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 Kentons
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.

Transcribed from the 1956 recording, the Peanut Vendor remains one of Stan
Kentons 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 dont 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).

Holman wrote this to feature (of course) Zoot Sims on tenor saxophone. This is a

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

A hit for Anita ODay 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. Theres 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

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
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]

Difficult
$65.00
Cat: LL-99467
This was a huge hit for the Krupa band, featuring Anita ODay 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. Eldridges
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 cant 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]

Difficult
$65.00
Cat: LL-99960
This is the vocal version that Anita ODay recorded with Gene Krupa, and is a mix
of powerhouse swing that you would expect from Krupas band, and a laid-back,
slightly humourous vocal chorus from ODay. 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

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
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.

This is the late, great Peggy Lee at her laid back best. This tune is so relaxed it is
almost horizontal, yet the bands 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

tight to do the chart justice. No sax doubles. Vocal range: G3 -A4; Vocal Key: F

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

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
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 its 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

Originally from Verdis 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.

Here is Millers 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
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
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

Here is Glenn Millers 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) doesnt 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

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.

Glen Island Special is a very quick swing chart written by Eddie Durham for the

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.

Co-written by Chummy MacGregor (Millers pianist) and George The Silver Fox

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.

Here is Glenn Millers 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 Millers 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.

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, its 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

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

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 arent 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.

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 doesnt 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.

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.

This song was written by Mel Powell when he was pianist with the Goodman

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

A much underrated chart from the Glenn Miller book but one that makes the hair

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.

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.

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

Another nostalgic song from the early WWII years, Well Meet Again remains as

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

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

This is Artie Shaws 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. Shaws 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.

CONCERTO FOR CLARINET (PART 1)

Cat: LL-1013
Here is part 1 of Artie Shaws 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 Shaws 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)

Advanced
$65.00
Cat: LL-99407
Here is part 2 of Artie Shaws 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

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 Shaws 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

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 Shaws 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 wont really matter
if the alto 2 (your baritone player) doesnt play any clarinet parts. We have scored
his lines as the lowest voice in the harmonized clarinet passages.
NON-STOP FLIGHT
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
its 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, youve just found it!

SOFTLY AS IN A MORNING SUNRISE

Medium
$65.00
Cat: LL-2405
One of Artie Shaws 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 Shaws
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
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. Its only Mr. Shaws 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.

original, as we recognize that not all bands have a bass clarinet at hand. All dynamics

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 everyones library. Lead alto
doubles clarinet briefly. Vocal key: Db

CHUCHO
Medium
$65.00
Cat: LL-1004
Chu Cho is a wonderful Latin number, from the pen of the great Paquito DRivera,
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.
THATS LIFE
FRANK SINATRA/MISC.
[VOCAL]

Medium Easy
$65.00
Cat: LL-2026
Another great tune from Frank Sinatras 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

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. Theres 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

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.

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
