Holman has done a few arrangements of this tune, and this one may well be the best. Bill wrote this chart for the great Woody Herman Orchestra. It is written in a very bright swing tempo, and there is solo space for alto sax, tenor sax and trumpet. This chart has great line writing (no surprise there) and powerful, swinging ensemble shout choruses. Your band will really love playing this one. 5-5-4-3.

Fast Swing. Composed by Alan Jay Lerner and Maynard Ferguson. Arranged by Don Sebesky. Sheet music. Score and parts. Handelsware #SMP 1055. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-1055).

This is a fast-paced, swinging chart, with lots of solo space for trumpet and baritone saxophone. There is also plenty of high-powered ensemble playing throughout. This edited version is created from the original parts, but Maynard's solo and lead parts are written into the standard trumpet section. Extra parts are also included for traditional instrumentation. This chart is one of the most recorded pieces in Maynard Ferguson's book and usually served as his opener with the Dream Band..

Ballad. Composed by James Van Heusen. Arranged by Bob Curnow. Sheet music. Ballad. Score and parts. Handelsware #SMP 126. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-126).

English.

This is, unquestionably, one of the most beautiful ballads ever written. And this arrangement really takes advantage of the richness of the Kenton Sound. This chart captures that wonderful feeling of warmth and power without high trumpet parts or extra demanding dynamics. A great choice for festivals.

Swing. Composed by Bill Holman. Arranged by Bob Curnow. Sheet music. Score and parts. Handelsware #SMP 1243. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-1243).

Originally composed by Bill Holman for the Stan Kenton Orchestra, Bob Curnow's arrangement of 'Solos' scores the melody in the unison saxophone section and is written for 8-brass. A straight-ahead, swinging chart based on 'rhythm changes,' this is a hip, angular melody that sets up some powerful ensemble passages. There is lots of solo space for alto saxophone, trumpet, trombone, and piano. If you are looking for a chart with a memorable melody and a vehicle to feature your outstanding soloists, this is the one! 5-4-4-3 (opt. guitar).
