Another amazing, exciting chart has been added to the Pat Metheny Series! Bob Curnow's arrangement of Metheny/Mays' composition Stranger In Town hits you in the face right from the start and ends in the same manner. With typical Metheny/Mays flavor, there is a musical shift in the middle as solo space for tenor saxophone emerges, followed by a full ensemble interlude which then takes us to a peak ending. Originally recorded by PMG on their album We Live Here, Curnow has once again masterfully arranged this tune to fit perfectly in a big band setting! 5-4-4-4.

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.

Originally recorded by the Count Basie Orchestra on their album Afrique, 'Kilimanjaro' is a mesmerizing, easy-feeling Latin composition which pulses along by the constant tumbao bass groove and infectious percussion. Featuring flute and trumpet on the melody, Oliver Nelson's composition has a very bluesy touch and allows for solos as you choose. Moderate brass ranges (highest note for trumpet is a written D), a written out bass line throughout, and flexible solos makes this outstanding piece playable by most any band. 5-4-4-4 (opt. Latin percussion).

As recorded by the Stan Kenton Orchestra on Live at Brigham Young University, this may well be Willie's best chart done for Stan. Maiden uses a latin feel, the lush sound of the trombones and saxophones and the exciting energy of the trumpets and rhythm section to create a superb arrangement of this very special melody. Solos for piano, trombone, and alto saxophone. 5-5-5-3.
