One of those mystery charts that hardly anyone knows about, this chart is a beauty. Mulligan was a master at creating moods and using wonderful chord substitutions, as he did in this medium ballad. The arrangement features Trumpet throughout (written to feature Buddy Childers), and it was played very often by the Kenton Band. The brass ranges and rhythms for all are very reasonable (written Bb above the staff for Trumpet). This is a VERY impressive chart that is easy to play. 5-5-5-4.

Here is a terrific medium swing chart, also written for Stan Kenton in the 50s. Although it was never recorded commercially by the band, it was played a great deal in live performances throughout the country and is on a number of transcription recordings. It cooks from beginning to end, and features solo space for trumpet and tenor sax, and one of those patented Holman ensemble shout choruses that just swings like crazy! 5-5-5-3.

As recorded by the Oliver Nelson Orchestra, 'Heidi' is the 3rd movement of the Impressions of Berlin suite. A gorgeous solo feature for alto saxophone throughout, this piece builds from a quiet beginning to a very powerful point (a 'Bolero' type of tension as the piece develops) before it diminishes to a quiet ending. This 'edited' version is in a lower key, has a shorter solo section and simpler brass ranges, making it more playable for both the soloist and the ensemble while still maintaining the integrity of Oliver's beautiful ballad. 5-4-4-3.

As written for and performed by the Buddy Rich Big Band, here is the long-missing chart that Holman wrote to feature The Great One..... Buddy Rich. It is a terrific, swinging chart with solo space, not only for drums, but also for tenor sax, trumpet and trombone. This is another superb chart by Holman, who has contributed to virtually every big band library on the jazz scene. This is a wonderful piece! 5-4-4-4.

This is one of the most original big band rock/fusion charts ever written. The Buddy Rich Big Band recorded this as a Closer on the CD Buddy and Soul. Tenor solo and lots of exciting counterpoint. Red-hot ensemble passages prevail! Played on the Tonight Show many times when Buddy would be a guest. This is a terrific crowd-pleaser. 5-4-4-4.

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 on the Dorian Blue LP. 5-4-4-3.

This chart was one of the staples in the Tonight Show Band book, and they performed this often. Tommy created a wonderful setting for this classic jazz standard. There is solo space for trumpet and tenor saxophone and lots of wonderful ensemble writing.

Written for and recorded by the Maynard Ferguson Birdland Dream Band, this chart by Willie Maiden is uncharacteristically easy to play for the band due to very reasonable brass ranges. However, this is a 2 tenor saxophone and 2 trombone feature throughout. While quite a bit of the solos are written out, there is also a lot of space for improvisation. This is one of Willie's most delightful pieces scored for Maynard. 5-4-4-3.
SKU: M7.SMP-411
This is a great, HOT chart from Maynard's Dream Band book. Beautifully written, with tenor and trumpet solos. This is the one everyone has been asking for! Included in the new Smithsonian recording of big band jazz. Let your band sink their teeth into this one! Full score/parts for 5-4-4-3.
SKU: M7.SMP-316
As written for and performed by the Buddy Rich Big Band, here is the long-missing chart that Holman wrote to feature Buddy on Drums and Pat LaBarbera on Tenor Sax. What a great chart! It is set in a quasi Rock Feel which shifts to Swing and back again. This is a very high-energy, exciting chart, and Buddy played it all the time! Your band will eat this one up. 5-4-4-3.

Dan has created a wonderful Rock Ballad, with a nifty, repeating vamp figure, that can be played by even the most inexperienced players. He has managed to do this without compromising the music. The chart is wonderful! The melody is stated by 2 Altos, Trumpet and Trombone in unison, and it grooves on from there. VERY limited ranges (1st Tpt. written G top of staff) Solos for Alto Sax, Tenor Sax and Trumpet. Solos are written out, or they can be improvised as well. Your band will love it! 5-4-4-4.

As recorded by the Maynard Ferguson Orchestra on the Newport album, this clever Willie Maiden arrangement is set in three sections - ballad, medium swing and fast swing. There is solo space for baritone saxophone (written out), bass (written out), tenor saxophone, trumpet, alto saxophone, and lead trumpet (a la Maynard). While this chart will certainly take some work to pull off, it will absolutely be worth it in the end! You band and audiences will love this great rendition of Old Man River! 5-5-4-3.
