Radiohead released '2+2=5' on their sixth album Hail to the Thief in 2003. Florian Ross' dazzling big band arrangement will put your band's dramatic range to the test! Players must be able to whisper gently on either end of the chart and rock out madly in between. Your ensemble and your audience will thank you for programming it -- and your guitarist will LOVE you!!! 5-4-4-4.

As recorded on Tonight Show Band, Vol. 2 (Amherst), this chart won a Grammy for best big band arrangement. Holman took this great standard, put it in 3-4, and wrote scintillating counter lines that weave their way through the whole arrangement. Solo space for trumpet, and roaring ensemble passages make this chart something that should be in every big band library in the world. 5-5-4-3.

As commissioned (and recorded) by the SWR Big Band of Stuttgart, Germany, this is an extended arrangement based on a gorgeous melody by Pat Metheny. The saxophone players double on flute (sax 1), clarinets (sax 2-4) and bass clarinet (sax 5). There is solo space for piano, tenor sax and trombone, as the chart moves from a rubato ballad, to a bossa feel, to a rock ballad feel, and back to the rubato again. This is a highly, emotionally charged piece which makes a wonderful addition to any program. Limited brass ranges. The chart also includes an interweaving of Metheny's pensive melody Tell Her You Saw Me. The CD on which this piece is recorded is Towednack, Bob Curnow and the SWR Big Band (available from Sierra Music). 5-4-4-4.

This chart was a staple in the Buddy Rich Big Band library for a long time, spinning off of the incredible excitement of that band. Recorded on the CD Swingin' New Big Band by Buddy, this chart starts off roaring and never quits. Rich used it as an Opener for years. 5-4-4-4.

This is another great Oliver Nelson chart (it swings like crazy!). It starts in 3/4 and then goes to 4/4 and has a wonderful feel and flow as it moves through the different sections. The piece has very limited brass ranges with some optional octave writing in the trumpet 1 part. There is solo space for alto saxophone, trumpet, piano and drums. This big band arrangement was adapted by Bob Curnow from the original small band version as recorded on Oliver Nelson Plays Michelle (Impulse). 5-4-4-4.

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.

Based on a traditional Native American song, Fred Sturm has created a truly amazing masterpiece capturing the beauty of the melody with the intricacies and creativity of a big band. Set in 15/8, this odd-metered tune features flute up front, with solo space for piano and bass, and plenty of powerful ensemble passages. If your band is up to it, you will not regret performing Pueblo de Taos, and your audiences will be delighted with such a bold, fresh selection. 5-4-4-4Flute/Alto Sax 1 (Solo), Alto Sax 2, Tenor Sax 1, Tenor Sax 2, Baritone Sax, Trumpet/Flugelhorn 1, Trumpet/Flugelhorn 2, Trumpet/Flugelhorn 3, Trumpet/Flugelhorn 4, Trombone 1, Trombone 2, Trombone 3, Bass Trombone 4, Piano (Solo), Guitar, Bass (Solo), Drums.

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.

Bill Holman's Great Big Band was a sensational ensemble! That album has just been re-issued on Mosaic Records. This chart is an example of Bill's talent for investing old material with brilliant new ideas. It originally featured Bill Perkins on tenor sax and Conte Candoli on trumpet solos. An exciting, amazingly fresh, inventive chart. Recorded on the Bill Holman's Great Big Band CD. 5-4-4-3.
