This chart is not for the faint-of-heart. It moves at a fast, swinging pace, and it captures the spirit of Parker's classic bebop tune, including the humor. As recorded on the new CD The Bill Holman Band Live, this chart allows for solos by tenor sax, trombone and piano. This is the whole package ..... outstanding ensemble writing and lots of solo space. This should be in every big band library. Flute doubles (short passages) on alto and tenor 1 parts. 5-4-4-4.

Here is a free swinging, remarkable chart from a new writer for Sierra. Allan Ganley's reputation and legacy in England drew our attention to this marvelous arrangement of One Morning in May. The arrangement is recorded on the CD June Time (Vocalion), and stands among the best versions out there. Starting with a soft, swinging ensemble, the chart moves into space for blowing for tenor saxophone and trumpet, returning to the initial feel with a wonderful, warm ending. All brass ranges are very moderate. This will be a great addition to any jazz band library. 5-4-4-4.

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.

The Jamey Aebersold Jazz Ensemble Collection (Volume 1) is a set of eight full arrangements that correlate with selected tracks from Jamey's play along Volumes #1 (Learning to Play Jazz), #2 (Nothin' But Blues) and #88 (Millennium Blues). Peter Blair had done all the arrangements and retained the exact form and solo structure as Jamey's recordings, so your students will be able to practice all the solos from these charts using Jamey's play along tracks! The eight pieces in the collection are in contrasting styles, including modal blues, Latin grooves, 3/4 minor blues and more! The Conductor's Score includes a CD with full recordings of all the charts and the rhythm section parts are fully notated.
