English.

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 xylophone). 5-4-4-5.

This is a lovely, cool, easy-swing chart that explores linear material as written for and recorded by the North Texas One O'clock Lab Band (Lab 2013). Flute and bass clarinet doubles are required, and the drummer is featured throughout with brushes. This piece has the feel of a theme and variations, and contains very rich harmonies and voicings. 5-4-4-4.

Here is a slow, gutty, down-home type of blues written for and recorded by the Stan Kenton Orchestra on the Adventures In Blues album. There is open solo space for tenor, trumpet and piano. Once the solos are over, the full ensemble comes roaring in to take the chart to a strong, sensational ending. Your audiences will love this tune! 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.

Swing. Composed by Bob Curnow. Sheet music. Score and parts. Handelsware #SMP 1245. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-1245).

Sierra Music is excited to provide another original from Bob Curnow! 'The Secret of the Blues' is a fresh, new look at the blues with interesting altered changes, dynamics that move from the softest to the strongest possible, and an attitude that will get any audience fired up. This sultry, swinging, screaming blues arrangement is perfect for featuring many soloists (there is space for alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, trumpet, and piano) before the ensemble shines in a dynamic-building, roaring section prior to returning to the melody. The highest trumpet note is a written E. This chart is a must-have! 5-4-4-4.
