Ballad. Composed by Pat Metheny. Arranged by Bob Curnow. Sheet music. Ballad. Score and parts. Handelsware #SMP 224. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-224).

English.

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.

Alto Sax Feature. Composed by Cole Porter and Julian Cannonball Adderley. Arranged by Oliver Nelson. Sheet music. Score and parts. Handelsware #SMP 1150. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-1150).

English.

This arrangement by Oliver Nelson is a gorgeous alto saxophone feature of Cole Porter's I Worship You. The alto player can either perform the solo part (completely written out) as originally played and recorded by Cannonball Adderley on his album Domination, or can choose to read the basic melody and improvise. There is also short solo space for piano. Clarinet doubles are required, but the ensemble writing is very playable. This is a great alto feature on a beautiful melody! 5-4-4-3.

Swing. Composed by Michel Legrand. Arranged by Vern Sielert. Sheet music. Score and parts. Handelsware #SMP 1197. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-1197).

English.

Vern Sielert has created a marvelous arrangement of Michel LeGrand's extremely popular melody. As recorded by the North Texas Two O'Clock Lab Band, it is set in a modern ECM swing feel. The melody is stated by alto saxophone and flugelhorn, and they are featured throughout with extensive room for improvisation. Brass ranges are moderate. This edited version only requires 8 brass players. This chart will surely join Vern's arrangements of I Thought About You and Like Someone in Love as best-sellers! 5-4-4-4 (opt. vibes).

Waltz. Composed by Rolf Ericson. Arranged by Don Sebesky. Sheet music. Score and parts. Handelsware #SMP 1200. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-1200).

English.

As recorded by the Maynard Ferguson Orchestra (and included in the Mosaic CDs The Complete Roulette Recordings of the Maynard Ferguson Orchestra), this is one of those charts that escaped notice for many, many years. Don Sebesky, one of the world's premier arrangers, took a magnificant Rolf Ericson tune and created an arrangement unlike anything you've heard before. The melody is stated by alto saxophone and trumpet, weaving in and out of various textures created by muted brass. The waltz feel begins to accelerate and rise at a climactic point where the melody is once again taken over by a solo trumpet and alto saxophone. Surprisingly, brass ranges are moderate. If you wish to program a piece which will have a very unique flavor and great audience appeal, this would be the chart! 5-4-4-3 (opt. original instrumentation available as 4-4-2-3).

Swing. Composed by Oliver Nelson. Arranged by Bob Curnow. Sheet music. Score and parts. Handelsware #SMP 1190. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-1190).

This Oliver Nelson melody was originally recorded with a small group. Bob Curnow took this great tune and arranged it for big band in a very hip way! Set in an easy swing feel, this chart has quite a bluesy feel to it while providing a nice variation to the standard blues changes that you might not expect. There is solo space for alto saxophone, trombone and piano. In this pro (original) version, you will find Oliver Nelson's amazing solo transcribed and arranged as a trumpet soli. Very cool and fun to play! If you like Oliver Nelson's music, you'll love this chart! 5-4-4-3.

As recorded on Libertango ! Hommage to Astor Piazzolla by the HR Big Band (Germany), this arrangement will surely lift your audiences out of their seats. It features a main soloist of your choice (originally recorded with bandoneon solo) and another solo for tenor saxophone. Various parts are included for different soloists to use. This marvelous arrangement opens with warm sounds in clarinets, muted trombones and flugelhorns behind the beautiful melody stated by the primary soloist. The setting is a medium tango, with a short, exciting swing section near the end of the chart. Once the piece moves into a strong, rock-fusion feel, there is no turning back. You and your band will love this chart. This requires clarinet doubles on the top 3 saxophone parts and bass clarinet on the baritone part. There is also a mallet part (marimba, vibes and xylophone). 5-4-4-5.

Aka Patterns For Orchestra. Composed by Oliver Nelson. Sheet music. Swing. Score and parts. Handelsware #SMP 395. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-395).

English.

Also known as Patterns For Orchestra (as recorded on the Verve jazz masters 48 CD), this is one of Nelson's very interesting charts. It has a very angular, exciting melody in a brisk swing tempo, and lots of solo space for trombone (as recorded by J.J. Johnson). The solo space could be filled by piano or any other instrument as well. The instrumentation has been converted to 5-4-4-4, a standard big band.
