One More Dream is a wonderful alto sax ballad feature played at 68 BPM. The woodwinds have various doubles for alto flute and clarinet but are optional, plus there are optional horn in F parts. This Patrick Williams chart has a gorgeous melody with space to solo. A class act all the way. (2:39).

As the title implies, this chart for advancing groups is more than just a blues - it's scored in a blues format, but with a bridge.

Due to the accessible blues progression, everyone is encouraged to get into the spotlight using the solo sheets provided. A guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson is included in each set. Duration 7:00.

A medium tempo swing blues for young bands that really cooks. Includes an open section with backgrounds for solos by any instrument on Bb blues changes. Range requirements are very modest and the chart works well even with incomplete instrumentation. A very tasty arrangement that sounds much more advanced than it is. Excellent chart for concert or contest use by a very popular writer for young bands. Very Nice!

Our 4th offering in the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra Signature Editions, is Once Around. This fast swing advanced level chart was among the first charts Thad Jones wrote for the new band in 1966, as a more modern contrast to the Basie-oriented arrangements that were in the band's early repertoire. Early 1960's forays into more open, modal jazz forms by Miles Davis and John Coltrane had turned the jazz world upside down in just a few years, prompting many artists to expand from bebop-oriented ii-V-I chord structures. This arrangement was one of Thad Jones' responses to that trend. This piece is a wide-open vehicle for improvisation. There are multiple open solo sections, each with extended improvisation opportunities. Duration 3:00.

La Curandera Negrita is basically a minor blues chart. Though this piece is written in 6/8, it is perhaps more accurately felt in a lilting triplet divided 4/4---with the dotted quarter receiving the pulse of a quarter note. Embrace the clustery sound of some of the voicings, and rehearse them slowly so your ears grow accustomed to the rubs sounding natural. The bass line changes its underlying pulse more frequently than in an ordinary Latin setting. This chart is longer than most high school-level material. Great interpretive latitude is encouraged so that each performance can sound different. First trumpet: C (2 ledger lines above staff).
