Holman originally wrote this chart to feature Charlie Parker with the Kenton Band in the early '50's. Based on the changes to the ever-popular All the Things You Are, it features alto saxophone throughout (can be done with trumpet also), and the chart has all of the wonderful creativity for which Holman is so well known with his feature charts. It doesn't get any better than this! 5-4-4-3 (10 brass optional).

Oliver had a great feel for the funky jazz style which was so popular. This chart features tenor sax throughout, and was recorded on the Fantabulous album. It is a very easy chart to play, and it would be a great addition to any big band book. This also could be played by a smaller instrumentation as recorded by Oliver (4 saxes, 2 tpts.2 trbs. 3 rhythm). 5-4-4-3.

Powerhouse rock and a huge sound make this a real winner at the medium-easy level! Trombones and tenors get the melody first, with the altos and trumpets taking over at the bridge. The open solo section for any instrument is over a 2-chord vamp, but one simple scale is all the soloist(s) need to sound impressive. The shout chorus drives it home to a powerful ending. This one rocks hard, but plays easy!

This is a fast-paced, swinging chart, with lots of solo space for trumpet and baritone saxophone. There is also plenty of high-powered ensemble playing throughout. This edited version is created from the original parts, but Maynard's solo and lead parts are written into the standard trumpet section. Extra parts are also included for traditional instrumentation. This chart is one of the most recorded pieces in Maynard Ferguson's book and usually served as his opener with the Dream Band..

All rhythm parts are written out. 5-4-4-4.
