This chart is destined to become a best-seller because of its unique and exciting format ... an orchestration of Jelly Roll Morton's original recording of one of his most famous compositions. The arranger has successfully captured the spirit of the '20's with the modern big band. Scored for 5 woodwinds (incl. clarinet and 2 soprano saxes) 6 brass and 4 rhythm, this is one piece that your band and audiences will ask for again and again. 5-3-3-4.

This is another one of those absolutely wonderful charts that Lennie did for Stan Kenton for what was known as the dance book. It was the hippest dance book ever! A medium-swing tempo sets this great standard in a framework that is very musical and very exciting. Trumpet and bass are featured. Limited ranges (tpt. written high D). This one will be a real favorite. 5-5-5-3.

Holman originally wrote this chart to feature Charlie Parker with the Kenton Band in the early '50's. Based on the changes to the ever-popular All the Things You Are, it features alto saxophone throughout (can be done with trumpet also), and the chart has all of the wonderful creativity for which Holman is so well known with his feature charts. It doesn't get any better than this! 5-4-4-3 (10 brass optional).

This chart is from the I REMEMBER BILL - a tribute to Bill Evans CD arranged and conducted by Don Sebesky! All of these incredible pieces require a mature band, soloists and woodwind doublers. Although these charts are not for the faint-of-heart, they are well worth the time and effort to perform. There has never been a more interesting or musical arrangement of this immortal Jerome Kern standard. From the I Remember Bill - a tribute to Bill Evans CD (RCA Victor). Give it a listen.

This was recorded on the Stan Kenton Orchestra CD Live at the Tropicana. This is a very hip version of the old jazz standard. It is set at a moderate swing tempo, and there is solo space for trumpet, trombone, tenor sax and an intro by bass alone. The solos have been transcribed and are included on the parts. An additional set of trumpet parts (along with the original versions) are provided to make this much more playable. It still swings like crazy. A refreshing, wonderful look at an oft-played tune. 5-5-5-3 (can be played with 8 brass).

This is a great chart to feature your drummer and the entire ensemble! Starting out with a bombastic Eastern-sounding introduction (ala Genghis Khan), it then launches into a hard-driving minor blues stated by the trombone, trumpet and tenor saxophone. There is solo space for tenor saxophone, trumpet and drums with exciting ensemble figures throughout. This chart provides lots of room for your drummer to solo and fill. 5-4-4-3.

As recorded by the Count Basie Orchestra on their album Count Basie's Finest Hour, Doodle Oodle is a barn-burning Billy Byers original. In usual Basie fashion, this chart swings its tail off with incredible ensemble passages, and provides for plenty of solo space for both tenor saxophonists to dual it out. Dramatic and flashy from beginning to end, this chart is guaranteed to be a band and audience favorite alike! 5-4-4-4.

Rarely does a piece turn up like this one. Although written for Stan Kenton (the mid-1950s), the chart never was recorded by the band (Holman doesn't know why), and it was lost for years. It is a sensational piece, combining Afro-Cuban rhythm (Latin) and Swing, and featuring solo space for tenor sax, trumpet and drums. It utilizes counterpoint between the wind sections over a Latin vamp and explores the perfect balance between counterpoint and dynamic ensemble writing in the Swing sections. This is Holman at his very best! 5-5-5-4.

This great chart is recorded (1999) on the Azica CD Swingin' the Blues. Holman grabs this simple Ellington tune and runs with it. The arrangement is yet another amazing example of Bill Holman's extraordinary arranging skills. There is solo space for tenor saxophone and, of course, trumpet. There is no real need for any extra high trumpet playing. The ensemble shout choruses alone are enough reason to put this chart in every jazz band library in the land. You will have a blast with this one. 5-4-4-4.
