Bill Holman wrote some of the best music played by the Stan Kenton Orchestra and Boop Boo Be Doop is surely one of those charts. The melody is scored for four horns within the big band setting, and those four horns (alto, tenor, trumpet, trombone) are also the featured soloists. As recorded on The Concepts Era - Live!, this chart represents Holman's ability to write swinging, exciting music for big band. 5-5-5-3.

Mulliga n's writing for the Kenton Band was fairly minimal in quantity but extraordinary in quality. He had a profound effect on the band and the writers to follow him. This composition was recorded in 1952 and is on the New Concepts CD (available from Sierra Music). There is solo space for alto, tenor and trumpet. A classic which should be in every jazz library. 5-5-5-4 (This music is available from Mosaic Records in their Russo/Holman CD set.).

Curnow has adapted the amazing vocal arrangements of David Maddux for the jazz ensemble. This arrangement moves through many variations of this most lovely of melodies. The music is somewhat legit in concept, not difficult to play, and it has a very hip, sophisticated, lush harmonic sound. Ideal for a different slant to your Christmas programming! 5-4-4-3.
