'A Hefti Dose of Basie,' as performed by Patrick William's big band on his brilliant CD Home Suite Home---this chart is a marvel of taste and restraint. The tempo is slow at around 74 BPM. This outstanding ballad has a trumpet 2 solo with chord changes. Brass range is not an issue, the challenge is the slow tempo. Soon to be a classic chart in everyone's library. (4:17) / Ensemble De Jazz

A bright swinger solo feature at 180 BPM, Patrick Williams' 'The Sun Will Shine Today' has standard instrumentation plus optional horn in F parts. It was originally scored for clarinet, but includes solo parts for trombones, B-flat instruments, and E-flat instruments. An ideal vehicle to feature your soloist and swing all the way home!

Par BERLIN IRVING. In the skilled hands of arranger Michael Mossman, this Irving Berlin classic feels completely at home as a mambo! With some harmonic wrinkles and a terrific mix of scoring styles, this chart has a great flow and pacing. Solo space is included for alto sax./ Répertoire / Jazz Ensemble
