Four wonderful tunes.... Eager Beaver, Dynaflow, Opus in Chartreuse and Artistry in Rhythm are included in this medley. Curnow put on paper what the band used to play to close most concerts or dances in the later years. Perfect for a Kenton Tribute Concert when you want to end with the best loved hits of this band. Fairly easy to play for most bands (In fact, the idea was to rest the trumpet section for a while.) 5-5-5-4.

This chart is not for the faint-of-heart. It moves at a fast, swinging pace, and it captures the spirit of Parker's classic bebop tune, including the humor. As recorded on the new CD The Bill Holman Band Live, this chart allows for solos by tenor sax, trombone and piano. This is the whole package ..... outstanding ensemble writing and lots of solo space. This should be in every big band library. Flute doubles (short passages) on alto and tenor 1 parts. 5-4-4-4.

James Miley brings us an original, fresh and fun-to-play composition titled Swing State.

You choose the soloists from tenor saxophone, trumpet and/or trombone. There is also some solo space for your drummer. Miley is a wonderful composer, and this chart is a great addition to our growing library of contemporary composers. 5-4-4-5.

Bossa Nova. Composed by Bob Curnow. Sheet music. Bossa Nova. Score and parts. Handelsware #SMP 104. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-104).

English.

This is a new edition (Finale computer notation) of this lovely bossa nova tune. Curnow uses flugelhorns to create a warm, lush, lyrical melody that floats in and out of various counter lines. There is a tenor sax solo which is followed by a marvelous full ensemble passage. The melody returns and takes things out to the end. Very reasonable ranges (1st tpt. high Db only) and rhythms make this very playable by most bands.

Tenor Sax Feature. Composed by Edward Heyman and Johnny Green. Arranged by Bill Holman. Sheet music. Score and parts. Handelsware #SMP 619. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-619).

Bill Holman, well known for his solo features, originally arranged this iconic tenor saxophone feature, 'Out of Nowhere,' for Bill Perkins and the Stan Kenton Orchestra in the mid '50s. Set as an up-tempo swing, the tenor saxophone is featured throughout and has lots of solo space to make this tune its own. Combine that with a cookin' rhythm section and great swinging ensemble passages, this chart is really happening! This new Finale edition provides cleaner, more correct parts and is easier to read with better page turns. This 'pro' version is the original chart requiring 10-brass. Brass ranges are reasonable in both versions (highest note for trumpet is a written D). 5-5-5-3.
