As recorded on Portrait of Shorty, (including the best of West Coast jazz musicians such as Herb Geller, Bill Holman, Jack Montrose, Frank Rosolino, Conrad Gozzo, Conte Candoli and others) this is a medium tempo Swing chart that has a very unique, catchy sound to it. There is solo space for alto, tenor and baritone saxophones, trumpet, trombone, piano, bass and drums. Once again Shorty writes a superb chart for Big Band. Over 200 bars of enjoyment! 5-4-4-4.

Bill Holman wrote some of the best music played by the Stan Kenton Orchestra and Boop Boo Be Doop is surely one of those charts. The melody is scored for four horns within the big band setting, and those four horns (alto, tenor, trumpet, trombone) are also the featured soloists. As recorded on The Concepts Era - Live!, this chart represents Holman's ability to write swinging, exciting music for big band. 5-5-5-3.

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.

Mulligan's writing for the Kenton Band was fairly minimal in quantity but extraordinary in quality. He had a profound effect on the band and the writers to follow him. This composition was recorded in 1952 and is on the New Concepts CD (available from Sierra Music). There is solo space for alto, tenor and trumpet. A classic which should be in every jazz library. 5-5-5-4 (This music is available from Mosaic Records in their Russo/Holman CD set.).

A big time contemporary urban rock chart that really delivers the heat by L.A. film music writer Lenny Stack. The ranges aren't extreme, but the lead trumpet will need a good solid high C. Very cool!

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.

This arrangement continues the Radiohead Jazz Project and adds another wonderful talent to the list of outstanding RJP writers. Omar Thomas has arranged this emotional heavy-rock ballad, focusing on the solo voice of the trombone. There is also solo space for piano. There are flute, clarinet and bass clarinet doubles. This piece has limited brass ranges (written B in the trumpet). 5-4-4-4.
