Curnow
has adapted the amazing
vocal arrangements of
David Maddux for the jazz
ensemble. This
arrangement moves through
many variations of this
most lovely of melodies.
The music is somewhat
legit in concept, not
difficult to play, and it
has a very hip,
sophisticated, lush
harmonic sound. Ideal for
a different slant to your
Christmas programming!

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.

This Oliver
Nelson melody was
originally recorded with
a small group. Bob Curnow
took this great tune and
arranged it for big band
in a very hip way! Set in
an easy swing feel, this
chart has quite a bluesy
feel to it while
providing a nice
variation to the standard
blues changes that you
might not expect. There
is solo space for alto
saxophone, trombone and
piano. In this pro
(original) version, you
will find Oliver Nelson's
amazing solo transcribed
and arranged as a trumpet
soli. Very cool and fun
to play! If you like
Oliver Nelson's music,
you'll love this chart!

If you are
looking for a modern
arrangement with a
classic feel, Drew
Zaremba has done just
that with Dave Brubeck's
'Cassandra.' Recorded by
the University of North
Texas One O'Clock Lab
Band on their CD Lab
2014, Drew uses theme and
variation to take this
marvelous, swinging
melody into challenging,
extensive and exciting
places. In addition to
featuring the depth of
your ensemble, including
woodwind doubles, lots of
counterpoint, and tempo
and style changes, there
is also solo space for
alto saxophone and
trumpet. This chart is
the real deal!
