As recorded by the Oliver Nelson Orchestra on their album Berlin Dialogue for Orchestra, Checkpoint Charlie is some of Nelson's most creative writing. Full of up-tempo energy, Oliver masterfully intertwines the melody in the saxophones with counter-lines from the brass to create an incredible tapestry of sound. There is plenty of solo space for trombone to stretch out, giving a great contrast from the full ensemble sections to the lone soloist with rhythm section. This edited version maintains the integrity of Oliver's original recording while simplifying some of the rhythms, making brass ranges more accessible, and providing solo space for tenor, trumpet, or trombone. 5-4-4-3.

A monumental piece of big band jazz. This was written for Les' fantastic Chicago band. It is an extensive work (about 12 minutes) which features trumpet (or flugelhorn) throughout in various settings and styles, based on one of the most beautiful melodies Les has ever written. There are also piano solos. Woodwind players must be good doublers and it is well worth the effort. This is certainly one of Hooper's most dynamic and interesting creations (among a great many)!

As recorded by Count Basie on the Roulette LP (Vogue CD) The Legend, Benny Carter has created a marvelous, quiet, smoky sounding tune ... somewhat in the vain of Whisper Not. This is a wonderful piece, so classic in its proportions, melody, harmony and its slow, swinging feel. There is solo space for trumpet, tenor sax and a bit of piano. Classic Basie! 5-4-3-4 (w/opt. 4th Trb.).
