Latin/Swing. Composed by Bill Holman and Stanley Newcomb Kenton. Sheet music. Latin/Swing. Score and parts. Handelsware #SMP 557. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-557).

English.

Rarely does a piece turn up like this one. Although written for Stan Kenton (the mid-1950s), the chart never was recorded by the band (Holman doesn't know why), and it was lost for years. It is a sensational piece, combining Afro-Cuban rhythm (Latin) and Swing, and featuring solo space for tenor sax, trumpet and drums. It utilizes counterpoint between the wind sections over a Latin vamp and explores the perfect balance between counterpoint and dynamic ensemble writing in the Swing sections. This is Holman at his very best! 5-5-5-4.

Jazz Samba. Arranged by Dominic Spera. Sheet music. Score and parts. Duration 4'. Handelsware #BARN 32314800. Published by Handelsware (M7.BARN-32314800).

English.

Incredible uptempo jazz samba arrangement of a great jazz standard by Dominic Spera. Plenty of solo space for the soloists of your choice then a brass choir section that segues into a Buddy Rich styled shout chorus. Goes back to the samba for the ending. Includes an optional contrafactum section that is incredibly exciting! Exceptional concert or competition chart for good bands. Very highly recommended!

English.

As written for and performed by the Buddy Rich Big Band, here is the long-missing chart that Holman wrote to feature The Great One..... Buddy Rich. It is a terrific, swinging chart with solo space, not only for drums, but also for tenor sax, trumpet and trombone. This is another superb chart by Holman, who has contributed to virtually every big band library on the jazz scene. This is a wonderful piece! 5-4-4-4.

Alto Sax Feature. Composed by Oliver Nelson. Sheet music. Alto Sax Feature. Score and parts. Handelsware #SMP 390. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-390).

English.

There may not be a more beautiful ballad anywhere in jazz ensemble literature. This is an alto saxophone feature throughout and was recorded on the Full Nelson album and also included in the Verve Jazz Masters collection CD. This is a stunning piece, which has a decidedly orchestral/classical sound to it. The possibility of using the original clarinet, flute oboe, bass clarinet and celeste parts makes this a most interesting and special piece. Regular saxophone parts are also included if doubles are not available. 5-4-4-4.

Aka Patterns For Orchestra. Composed by Oliver Nelson. Sheet music. Swing. Score and parts. Handelsware #SMP 395. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-395).

English.

Also known as Patterns For Orchestra (as recorded on the Verve jazz masters 48 CD), this is one of Nelson's very interesting charts. It has a very angular, exciting melody in a brisk swing tempo, and lots of solo space for trombone (as recorded by J.J. Johnson). The solo space could be filled by piano or any other instrument as well. The instrumentation has been converted to 5-4-4-4, a standard big band.

Swing. Composed by Shorty Rogers. Sheet music. Swing. Score and parts. Handelsware #SMP 457. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-457).

English.

As recorded on Portrait of Shorty, (including the best of West Coast jazz musicians such as Herb Geller, Bill Holman, Jack Montrose, Frank Rosolino, Conrad Gozzo, Conte Candoli and others) this is a medium tempo Swing chart that has a very unique, catchy sound to it. There is solo space for alto, tenor and baritone saxophones, trumpet, trombone, piano, bass and drums. Once again Shorty writes a superb chart for Big Band. Over 200 bars of enjoyment! 5-4-4-4.

Flügelhorn Feature. Composed by Rich DeRosa. Sheet music. Score and parts. Handelsware #SMP 1234. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-1234).

Rich DeRosa, Professor of Jazz Composition at the University of North Texas, has composed a fascinating, brooding, and pensive melody of 'Mixed Emotions.' Set in a very contemporary feel with lush harmonies and reasonable brass ranges (highest note for trumpet is a written B), this flugelhorn feature also includes wonderfully written ensemble passages and will enchant your band and audiences alike. Originally recorded by the UNT One O'Clock Lab Band on their album Lab 2014, this piece requires woodwind doubles (clarinet). 5-4-4-4.

English.

The Maynard Ferguson Band performed a lot of Abene's charts over the years. This chart is an excellent example of Abene's very musical approach to a great jazz standard. Very reasonable ranges throughout. Features tenor sax, trumpet and trombone solos. Destined to be a best-seller! Printed as originally scored (4-4-2-3), but including extra parts for a standard 5-4-4-4 instrumentation. This one burns!

Swing. Composed by Erskine Hawkins, Julian Dash, Stanley Newcomb Kenton, and William Johnson. Arranged by Gene Roland. Sheet music. Moderate Swing. Score and parts. Handelsware #SMP 937. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-937).

English.

This was recorded on the Stan Kenton Orchestra CD Live at the Tropicana. This is a very hip version of the old jazz standard. It is set at a moderate swing tempo, and there is solo space for trumpet, trombone, tenor sax and an intro by bass alone. The solos have been transcribed and are included on the parts. An additional set of trumpet parts (along with the original versions) are provided to make this much more playable. It still swings like crazy. A refreshing, wonderful look at an oft-played tune. 5-5-5-3 (can be played with 8 brass).
