Another
amazing, exciting chart
has been added to the Pat
Metheny Series! Bob
Curnow's arrangement of
Metheny/Mays' composition
Stranger In Town hits you
in the face right from
the start and ends in the
same manner. With typical
Metheny/Mays flavor,
there is a musical shift
in the middle as solo
space for tenor saxophone
emerges, followed by a
full ensemble interlude
which then takes us to a
peak ending. Originally
recorded by PMG on their
album We Live Here,
Curnow has once again
masterfully arranged this
tune to fit perfectly in
a big band setting!

This Oliver
Nelson melody was
originally recorded with
a small group. Bob Curnow
took this great tune and
arranged it for big band
in a very hip way! Set in
an easy swing feel, this
chart has quite a bluesy
feel to it while
providing a nice
variation to the standard
blues changes that you
might not expect. There
is solo space for alto
saxophone, trombone and
piano. In this pro
(original) version, you
will find Oliver Nelson's
amazing solo transcribed
and arranged as a trumpet
soli. Very cool and fun
to play! If you like
Oliver Nelson's music,
you'll love this chart!

The
Count Basie Orchestra
performed the music of
Billy Byers for many,
many years. His
arrangement of Come Fly
With Me is recorded on
the Basie album Frankly
Basie: Count Basie Plays
the Hits of Frank
Sinatra. Set in an
up-tempo swing feel,
Byers hits it hard from
bar 1 and doesn't let up
until the end of the
chart. The interplay
between saxophones and
brass is clever and
energetic, while the full
ensemble writing is
classic Basie sound at
its finest. There is solo
space for tenor
saxophone, with fantastic
ensemble backgrounds
throughout much of it. No

This is
a fast, swing chart that
is a feature for tenor
saxophone. The soloist
gets to blow in a
free-form setting, or the
soloing can be done in
time with the rhythm
section. The rest of the
band plays a neat, tight
introduction to the
improvisation, and they
follow the solo with the
same swinging, nifty
music as the front end.
This is a clever, hip,
piece that makes a great
addition to any
program..... especially
if your brass section
needs a rest. Les

All brass ranges are very
