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.
Rock/Fusion.

Hommage to Astor
Piazzolla by the HR Big
Band (Germany), this
arrangement will surely
lift your audiences out
of their seats. It
features a main soloist
of your choice
(originally recorded with
bandoneon solo) and
another solo for tenor
saxophone. Various parts
are included for
different soloists to
use. This marvelous
arrangement opens with
warm sounds in clarinets,
muted trombones and
flugelhorns behind the
beautiful melody stated
by the primary soloist.
The setting is a medium
tango, with a short,
exciting swing section
near the end of the
chart. Once the piece
moves into a strong,
rock-fusion feel, there
is no turning back. You
and your band will love
this chart. This requires
clarinet doubles on the
top 3 saxophone parts and
bass clarinet on the
baritone part. There is
also a mallet part
(marimba, vibes and
xylophone). 5-4-4-5.

As
recorded by the Maynard
Ferguson Orchestra (and
included in the Mosaic
CDs The Complete Roulette
Recordings of the Maynard
Ferguson Orchestra), this
is one of those charts
that escaped notice for
many, many years. Don
Sebesky, one of the
world's premier
arrangers, took a
magnificant Rolf Ericson
tune and created an
arrangement unlike
anything you've heard
before. The melody is
stated by alto saxophone
and trumpet, weaving in
and out of various
textures created by muted
brass. The waltz feel
begins to accelerate and
rise at a climactic point
where the melody is once
again taken over by a
solo trumpet and alto
saxophone. Surprisingly,
brass ranges are
moderate. If you wish to
program a piece which
will have a very unique
flavor and great audience
appeal, this would be the
chart! 5-4-4-3 (opt.
original instrumentation
available as
4-4-2-3).

This is
a new edition (Finale
computer notation) of
this lovely bossa nova
tune. Curnow uses
flugelhorns to create a
warm, lush, lyrical
melody that floats in and
out of various counter
lines. There is a tenor
sax solo which is
followed by a marvelous
full ensemble passage.
The melody returns and
takes things out to the
end. Very reasonable
ranges (1st tpt. high Db
only) and rhythms make
this very playable by
most bands.
