Every once in a
while a melody is written
that words cannot convey
and only the soul
understands.
Master-of-melodies, Pat
Metheny, did just that in
his composition of Tell
Her You Saw Me, and Bob
Curnow magnificently
transformed it into a
majestic big band
arrangement. A ballad
throughout that slowly
builds in intensity; this
piece utilizes woodwind
doubles and flugelhorns
with a short, written-out
piano solo up front. If
you are looking to
provide a moving ballad
for your audiences, then
this is it. 5-4-4-4.

As
recorded on Libertango !
Hommage to Astor
Piazzolla by the HR Big
Band (Germany), this
arrangement will surely
lift your audiences out
of their seats. It
features a main soloist
of your choice
(originally recorded with
bandoneon solo) and
another solo for tenor
saxophone. Various parts
are included for
different soloists to
use. This marvelous
arrangement opens with
warm sounds in clarinets,
muted trombones and
flugelhorns behind the
beautiful melody stated
by the primary soloist.
The setting is a medium
tango, with a short,
exciting swing section
near the end of the
chart. Once the piece
moves into a strong,
rock-fusion feel, there
is no turning back. You
and your band will love
this chart. This requires
clarinet doubles on the
top 3 saxophone parts and
bass clarinet on the
baritone part. There is
also a mallet part
(marimba, vibes and

As
recorded by the Maynard

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.
