As recorded by the Maynard Ferguson Orchestra on New Sounds of Maynard Ferguson, This Willie Maiden arrangement takes a great tune and puts it in an up-tempo swing setting. The chart has a bop-like melody performed as a duet by the alto saxophone and trumpet at the beginning, and then moves into the ensemble. There is a solo for alto saxophone, followed by a roaring shout chorus. There is some high trumpet work (a la Maynard), with optional lower notes included. As always, Willie gives us another incredible arrangement sure to be loved by all audiences! 5-4-4-3.

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.

English.
This is a lovely, straight-eighth waltz that starts simply and quietly with the rhythm section. There are flute doubles in the alto saxophone parts and a flugelhorn solo. Brass ranges are very limited. This is a great piece to program to contrast the more demanding charts you are performing. 5-4-4-4.

Sierra Music is excited to provide another original from Bob Curnow! 'The Secret of the Blues' is a fresh, new look at the blues with interesting altered changes, dynamics that move from the softest to the strongest possible, and an attitude that will get any audience fired up. This sultry, swinging, screaming blues arrangement is perfect for featuring many soloists (there is space for alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, trumpet, and piano) before the ensemble shines in a dynamic-building, roaring section prior to returning to the melody. The highest trumpet note is a written E. This chart is a must-have! 5-4-4-4.

Carl Strommen, one of the most prolific educational writers, has penned the funk chart that students will love. The chord structure is blues in F which can feature any of your soloists. This composition features Carl's trademark rhythmless soli sections. There is a pretty fat chance that this will be a big seller for Carl. Solos are not written out for these F blues changes.

Many have tried, but few have been able to match the incredible swing that happens when you combine Billy Byers' arranging with the Count Basie Orchestra. Originally recorded on the Basie album Frankly Basie: Count Basie Plays the Hits of Frank Sinatra, Hey, Jealous Lover is a medium-swing chart that will excite your band and audiences alike! Filled with typical Basie-esque piano solo fills (written out), there is also room for trumpet and tenor saxophone improvisation. The ensemble writing is powerful and swinging; nothing complex or rhythmically awkward, just a great melody with hard swingin' horn lines and tasty solo spots. 5-4-4-4.
