Every once in a

that words cannot convey
and only the soul
understands.
Master-of-melodies, Pat
Metheny, did just that in
his composition of Tell
Her You Saw Me, and Bob
Curnow magnificently
transformed it into a
majestic big band
arrangement. A ballad
throughout that slowly
builds in intensity; this
piece utilizes woodwind
doubles and flugelhorns
with a short, written-out
piano solo up front. If
you are looking to
provide a moving ballad
for your audiences, then
this is it. 5-4-4-4.

suite. Set in an up-tempo

in-your-face swing unison
line played by the
saxophones and the
trumpets, with the
trombones and rhythm
section providing the
undercurrent. It then
moves into a half-time
Latin feel before
settling into a funk/rock

This is
one of those superb
Holman charts written for
Stan Kenton in the early
'50's that just swings
like crazy. It starts off
very soft and easy, with
clever linear writing. It
then roars into an alto
sax solo, to be followed
by a trumpet solo. A key
change brings the chart
to a great shout section
before returning to the
soft opening for a
