English.

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).

Waltz. Composed by Rolf Ericson. Arranged by Don Sebesky. Sheet music. Score and parts. Handelsware #SMP 1200. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-1200).

English.

As recorded by the Maynard Ferguson Orchestra (and included in the Mosaic CDs The Complete Roulette Recordings of the Maynard Ferguson Orchestra), this is one of those charts that escaped notice for many, many years. Don Sebesky, one of the world's premier arrangers, took a magnificant Rolf Ericson tune and created an arrangement unlike anything you've heard before. The melody is stated by alto saxophone and trumpet, weaving in and out of various textures created by muted brass. The waltz feel begins to accelerate and rise at a climactic point where the melody is once again taken over by a solo trumpet and alto saxophone. Surprisingly, brass ranges are moderate. If you wish to program a piece which will have a very unique flavor and great audience appeal, this would be the chart! 5-4-4-3 (opt. original instrumentation available as 4-4-2-3).

Swing. Composed by Bill Holman. Arranged by Bob Curnow. Sheet music. Score and parts. Handelsware #SMP 1243. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-1243).

Originally composed by Bill Holman for the Stan Kenton Orchestra, Bob Curnow's arrangement of 'Solos' scores the melody in the unison saxophone section and is written for 8-brass. A straight-ahead, swinging chart based on 'rhythm changes,' this is a hip, angular melody that sets up some powerful ensemble passages. There is lots of solo space for alto saxophone, trumpet, trombone, and piano. If you are looking for a chart with a memorable melody and a vehicle to feature your outstanding soloists, this is the one! 5-4-4-3 (opt. guitar).
