This is surely one of Gershwin's most beautiful melodies, and Potts arranged it to feature trumpet throughout (as recorded on the 1959 album The Jazz Soul of Porgy and Bess, featuring the Bill Potts Big Band) . Lush orchestration, rich harmonies, reasonable ranges and a touching ending make this chart a great choice for festival programming. This should be in every big band book. 5-5-5-4.

Baritone Sax Feature. Composed by George Gershwin and Stanley Newcomb Kenton. Arranged by Bill Holman. Sheet music. Baritone Sax Feature. Score and parts. Handelsware #SMP 727. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-727).

English.

As recorded by the Stan Kenton Orchestra on Live at Brigham Young University, this is a rare baritone saxophone solo feature throughout. The arrangement by Holman is marvelous, opening and closing with a slow statement of the theme, and roaring in an up-tempo setting in the middle of the chart. This is a very exciting arrangement of Gershwin's unforgettable piece. 5-5-5-3.

The quintessential Flag-Waver (as recorded on the 1959 album The Jazz Soul of Porgy and Bess, featuring the Bill Potts Big Band), this one is a real romp through a happy tune and a brilliant chart, arranged to feature everyone in the band. Some only have 4 bars, others have more blowing space, but everyone gets their chance in the spotlight. Great fun, great music and a great chart! 5-5-5-4.

This is another of the many wonderful charts arranged by Niehaus for the Stan Kenton Orchestra. A splendid rendition of a great standard, and it swings like crazy! It contains all of the elements so associated with the Kenton band. Wonderfully inventive writing which at first states the melody with a small band. 5-5-5-3 (edited to be played without mellophoniums and can be played with 8 brass or 10).
