As recorded by Count Basie on the Roulette LP (Vogue CD) The Legend, Benny Carter has created a marvelous, quiet, smoky sounding tune ... somewhat in the vain of Whisper Not. This is a wonderful piece, so classic in its proportions, melody, harmony and its slow, swinging feel. There is solo space for trumpet, tenor sax and a bit of piano. Classic Basie! 5-4-3-4 (w/opt. 4th Trb.).

This is a gorgeous feature for tenor saxophone (there is also a piano solo). Sensuous, warm, lush ..... all those good things. Set in a slow bossa-nova style, this lyrical piece will please your players and audiences alike. Very modest brass ranges (high D for tpt. 1) and easy rhythms make this chart very playable and attractive for just about any band. 5-4-4-4 (Opt. 10 brass).

Swing. Composed by Neal Hefti. Arranged by Stanley Newcomb Kenton. Sheet music. Slow Swing. Score and parts. Handelsware #SMP 587. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-587).

English.

Stan Kenton had a certain touch in his arranging that stood out. He took a simple, slow-swinging approach to this great Neal Hefti tune, and it was one of the most popular charts played by the band in the 1970's. Piano takes the melody, while the trombones set the harmonic and rhythmic groove. This is a wonderful piece to program, becasue it is so different than most charts. 5-5-5-3.

Swing. Composed by Billy Byers and Count Basie. Sheet music. Score and parts. Handelsware #SMP 1182. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-1182).

Much like Neil Hefti's Li'l Darlin', this Billy Byers original exemplifies quiet, warm ensemble writing at its finest. There is also the contrast of a strong shout section before returning to the quieter approach. This was recorded by the Count Basie Orchestra on the album Count Basie's Finest Hour (originally Basie Land). Set as a medium-slow swing feel, there are solos for trumpet and piano. In this edited version, the arrangement is almost exactly like the original, except the solos are written out, the high trumpet parts are adjusted, and the saxophone parts have been simplified a bit. 5-4-4-4.

Ballad. Composed by Pat Metheny. Arranged by Bob Curnow. Sheet music. Score and parts. Handelsware #SMP 1260. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-1260).

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.

Long Version. Composed by Oliver Nelson. Arranged by Bob Curnow. Sheet music. Score and parts. Handelsware #SMP 1112. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-1112).

English.

This arrangement of I Hope In Time a Change Will Come came about through a desire to hear/play more than one chorus of this stunningly beautiful melody by Oliver Nelson. The basis for this new arrangement was Nelson's original chart, but this one is two choruses, not one. Part of the second chorus can be improvised. The soloist throughout is soprano saxophone (could be played on tenor saxophone or trumpet if you so desire). This is a slow, gorgeous ballad that will thrill your audiences. 5-4-4-3.
