An absolutely stunning feature for flugelhorn and piano!! The great bassist Ray Brown wrote this gorgeous bossa/ballad, and Geoff Keezer gave it his special, inventive touch. One of the great jazz pianists collaborates with the premier jazz bassist to create a true work of art. And, it is not difficult to play. Range is very reasonable throughout, and, the transparent, light approach Geoff takes, makes it very playable. 5-4-4-4.

Bill Holman, well known for his solo features, originally arranged this iconic tenor saxophone feature, 'Out of Nowhere,' for Bill Perkins and the Stan Kenton Orchestra in the mid '50s. Set as an up-tempo swing, the tenor saxophone is featured throughout and has lots of solo space to make this tune its own. Combine that with a cookin' rhythm section and great swinging ensemble passages, this chart is really happening! This new Finale edition provides cleaner, more correct parts and is easier to read with better page turns. This 'pro' version is the original chart requiring 10-brass. Brass ranges are reasonable in both versions (highest note for trumpet is a written D). 5-5-5-3.

Feature your outstanding or guest soloist with Petite Piece Concertante, for solo cornet, trumpet, or euphonium with concert band accompaniment. A standard repertoire contest/festival solo for generations, this arrangement requires a minimum of rehearsal and coordination with soloist. Allows soloist the opportunities to display excellence in lyrical and technical playing, but well within reasonable difficulty levels. Part of the Barnhouse Spotlight series of works for solo instruments with band accompaniment. Superb!
