Ballad. Composed by Bob Graettinger and Stanley Newcomb Kenton. Sheet music. Ballad. Score and parts. Handelsware #SMP 724. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-724).

English.

Graetti nger arranged this standard in his most unusual way, using dissonance offset with the beauty of this gorgeous melody. It is a trombone solo pretty much throughout the entire ballad. Great writing for the soloist and the trombone section as well. This is something quite different and quite wonderful. 5-5-5-2.

Concert Jazz. Composed by Johnny Richards. Arranged by Bob Curnow. Sheet music. Score and parts. Handelsware #SMP 1063. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-1063).

English.

This arrangement by Bob Curnow is based on Johnny Richards' original composition written for the Stan Kenton Orchestra, which was part of the Adventures In Time album. This version is easier to play without losing the original character of the piece. Most of the piece is in 9/8 at a moderate tempo. There are solos for tenor saxophone, trumpet and piano, with a wonderful, written-out piano solo in the beginning. Trumpet ranges are quite reasonable.5-5-5-3.

Rock. Composed by Dan Haerle. Sheet music. Rock Ballad. Score and parts. Handelsware #SMP 252. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-252).

English.

Dan has created a wonderful Rock Ballad, with a nifty, repeating vamp figure, that can be played by even the most inexperienced players. He has managed to do this without compromising the music. The chart is wonderful! The melody is stated by 2 Altos, Trumpet and Trombone in unison, and it grooves on from there. VERY limited ranges (1st Tpt. written G top of staff) Solos for Alto Sax, Tenor Sax and Trumpet. Solos are written out, or they can be improvised as well. Your band will love it! 5-4-4-4.

Swing. Arranged by Willie Maiden. Sheet music. Score and parts. Handelsware #SMP 1194. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-1194).

English.

Short, sweet and swingin'! Willie Maiden's arrangement of I'll Be Seeing You packs a whopper in a tiny box, making this chart perfect as an encoure closer for any set. As recorded by Maynard Ferguson and his orchestra on the album Dancing Sessions, Willie's arrangement makes great use of the trombone section as they carry the melody upfront before passing it around to the rest of the band. There is some space for a short trumpet solo before the band comes roaring in at the end to take it out with a punch! This chart should be in every band's library! 5-4-4-3 (opt. original instrumentation available as 4-4-2-3).

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).

Trumpet Feature. Composed by Jerome Kern and Stanley Newcomb Kenton. Arranged by Gerry Mulligan. Sheet music. Trumpet Feature. Score and parts. Handelsware #SMP 577. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-577).

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.
