This chart was
originally written for
Charlie Parker to perform
with the Stan Kenton
Orchestra. Eventually it
was recorded by Lee
Konitz. The ensemble
writing is very playable
with no range concerns in
the brass. If you have a
great alto saxophone
player (the solo is
mostly chord symbols),
this is an easy tune to
put together with your
band and will be a
spectacular addition to
any concert program.

like crazy. It starts off
very soft and easy, with
clever linear writing. It
then roars into an alto

by a trumpet solo. A key
change brings the chart
to a great shout section
before returning to the
soft opening for a

As recorded by

3rd movement of the
Impressions of Berlin
suite. A gorgeous solo
feature for alto
saxophone throughout,
this piece builds from a
quiet beginning to a very
powerful point (a
'Bolero' type of tension
as the piece develops)
before it diminishes to a
quiet ending. This
'edited' version is in a
lower key, has a shorter
solo section and simpler
brass ranges, making it
more playable for both
the soloist and the
ensemble while still
maintaining the integrity
of Oliver's beautiful
ballad. 5-4-4-3.

Bill
Holman wrote some of the

Boop Boo Be Doop is
surely one of those

scored for four horns
within the big band

horns (alto, tenor,
trumpet, trombone) are
also the featured
soloists. As recorded on

this chart represents

The
chart everyone has been
waiting for!! Eight
minutes of amazing,
dynamic, exciting sounds!
This arrangement was
commissioned and recorded
by the SWR Big Band of
Stuttgart, Germany. It
is, of course, based on
the centerpiece of the
wildly popular show.
Everytime this chart was
performed in live
concerts in Germany (and
elsewhere), the audience
just erupted with
applause and standing
ovations. This isn't an
easy chart to play, but
it is well worth the
effort (similar to The
First Circle in that
respect). All ranges are
fairly reasonable, with
the 1st Tpt. part topping
out at a written high E.
This is recorded on the
highly acclaimed CD
Towednack, Bob Curnow and
the SWR Big Band
(available from Sierra
Music). 5-4-4-4.
