For Woody Herman. Composed by Henry Creamer, Turner Layton, and Woody Herman. Arranged by Bill Holman. Sheet music. Score and parts. Handelsware #SMP 1027. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-1027).

English.

Holman has done a few arrangements of this tune, and this one may well be the best. Bill wrote this chart for the great Woody Herman Orchestra. It is written in a very bright swing tempo, and there is solo space for alto sax, tenor sax and trumpet. This chart has great line writing (no surprise there) and powerful, swinging ensemble shout choruses. Your band will really love playing this one. 5-5-4-3.

Swing. Composed by Maynard Ferguson and Turner Layton. Arranged by Michael Abene. Sheet music. Swing. Score and parts. Handelsware #SMP 419. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-419).

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!

SKU: M7.BARN-32374600

Alto Sax Feature. Composed by Rob Vuono. Sheet music. Score and parts. Duration 3'. Handelsware #BARN 32374600. Published by Handelsware (M7.BARN-32374600).

English.

This beautiful and pensive ballad is a superb feature for your lead alto player. Rob has penned a melody that is truly haunting; along with attractive and ever-shifting chord changes and vibrant ensembles, creating a memorable piece that really stays with the listener long after it is over. Modest ranges and skillful scoring (the chart is playable with as few as 4 Saxes, 5 brass, and rhythm) make this chart a superlative choice for concert or contest, and a guaranteed mainstay in any jazz ensemble library.
