The quintessential Flag-Waver (as recorded on the 1959 album The Jazz Soul of Porgy and Bess, featuring the Bill Potts Big Band), this one is a real romp through a happy tune and a brilliant chart, arranged to feature everyone in the band. Some only have 4 bars, others have more blowing space, but everyone gets their chance in the spotlight. Great fun, great music and a great chart! 5-5-5-4.
SKU: M7.SMP-457
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.
SKU: M7.SMP-320
This amazing work was commissioned by the I.A.J.E, ASCAP and the Dizzy Gillespie Commissions and was premiered at the IAJE Conference in New York City. It is a piece approximately 12 minutes in length, with solos for trombone, baritone saxophone, piano and others. This is Holman's newest work, and it should stand as one of his most interesting, creative and exciting works to date. 5-4-4-3.
