A monumental piece of big band jazz. This was written for Les' fantastic Chicago band. It is an extensive work (about 12 minutes) which features trumpet (or flugelhorn) throughout in various settings and styles, based on one of the most beautiful melodies Les has ever written. There are also piano solos. Woodwind players must be good doublers and it is well worth the effort. This is certainly one of Hooper's most dynamic and interesting creations (among a great many)! As recorded on the Dorian Blue LP. 5-4-4-3.

Talk about a Flag-Waver !!! The Maynard Ferguson Band recorded this on their Footpath Cafe CD. The chart asks every player in the band to wail through a very hip and challenging be-bop line in unison. There are ensemble breaks here and there for very dramatic effects, and plenty of blowing space on the rhythm changes. You'll love doing this chart because you can really show off your band. 5-4-4-3.

This is an absolutely wonderful chart, written for and recorded by the great Basie Band. 5-5-4-4 (flute double on tenor part) (condensed score).

Swing. Composed by Michel Legrand. Arranged by Vern Sielert. Sheet music. Score and parts. Handelsware #SMP 1197. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-1197).

English.

Vern Sielert has created a marvelous arrangement of Michel LeGrand's extremely popular melody. As recorded by the North Texas Two O'Clock Lab Band, it is set in a modern ECM swing feel. The melody is stated by alto saxophone and flugelhorn, and they are featured throughout with extensive room for improvisation. Brass ranges are moderate. This edited version only requires 8 brass players. This chart will surely join Vern's arrangements of I Thought About You and Like Someone in Love as best-sellers! 5-4-4-4 (opt. vibes).

English.

One of those mystery charts that hardly anyone knows about, this chart is a beauty. Mulligan was a master at creating moods and using wonderful chord substitutions, as he did in this medium ballad. The arrangement features Trumpet throughout (written to feature Buddy Childers), and it was played very often by the Kenton Band. The brass ranges and rhythms for all are very reasonable (written Bb above the staff for Trumpet). This is a VERY impressive chart that is easy to play. 5-5-5-4.

This is a gorgeous feature for tenor saxophone (there is also a piano solo). Sensuous, warm, lush ..... all those good things. Set in a slow bossa-nova style, this lyrical piece will please your players and audiences alike. Very modest brass ranges (high D for tpt. 1) and easy rhythms make this chart very playable and attractive for just about any band. 5-4-4-4 (Opt. 10 brass).

This amazing work was commissioned by the I.A.J.E, ASCAP and the Dizzy Gillespie Commissions and was premiered at the IAJE Conference in New York City. It is a piece approximately 12 minutes in length, with solos for trombone, baritone saxophone, piano and others. This is Holman's newest work, and it should stand as one of his most interesting, creative and exciting works to date. 5-4-4-3.

English.

This arrangement of I Hope In Time a Change Will Come came about through a desire to hear/play more than one chorus of this stunningly beautiful melody by Oliver Nelson. The basis for this new arrangement was Nelson's original chart, but this one is two choruses, not one. Part of the second chorus can be improvised. The soloist throughout is soprano saxophone (could be played on tenor saxophone or trumpet if you so desire). This is a slow, gorgeous ballad that will thrill your audiences. 5-4-4-3.
