Swing. Composed by Bee Walker, Kay Twomey, and Sammy Cahn. Arranged by Billy Byers. Sheet music. Score and parts. Handelsware #SMP 1213. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-1213).

English.

Many have tried, but few have been able to match the incredible swing that happens when you combine Billy Byers' arranging with the Count Basie Orchestra. Originally recorded on the Basie album Frankly Basie: Count Basie Plays the Hits of Frank Sinatra, Hey, Jealous Lover is a medium-swing chart that will excite your band and audiences alike! Filled with typical Basie-esque piano solo fills (written out), there is also room for trumpet and tenor saxophone improvisation. The ensemble writing is powerful and swinging; nothing complex or rhythmically awkward, just a great melody with hard swingin' horn lines and tasty solo spots. 5-4-4-4.

Sierra continues to find the lost treasures from Maynard Ferguson's Birdland Dream Band Library. Willie scored this Miles Davis classic to feature four different saxophone players. A typical chart for that time, it covers the whole dynamic range with exciting, swinging music. Printed as originally scored (4-4-2-3), but including extra parts for a standard 5-4-4-4 instrumentation.

Everybo dy knows this classic children's hymn, but nobody has heard it quite like this before. It's very cool and a lot of fun. Can feature any instrumental or even vocal soloists. A word of warning: if you use a vocalist, there's a very good chance that the audience will start singing along with some hand jive motions included. Playable with limited instrumentation. A truly unique arrangement, it's perfect for church and private school performances!

This is a gorgeous feature for tenor saxophone (there is also a piano solo). Sensuous, warm, lush ..... all those good things.

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).

English.

Powerho use rock and a huge sound make this a real winner at the medium-easy level! Trombones and tenors get the melody first, with the altos and trumpets taking over at the bridge. The open solo section for any instrument is over a 2-chord vamp, but one simple scale is all the soloist(s) need to sound impressive. The shout chorus drives it home to a powerful ending. This one rocks hard, but plays easy!

Bossa Nova. Composed by Bob Curnow. Sheet music. Bossa Nova. Score and parts. Handelsware #SMP 104. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-104).

English.

This is a new edition (Finale computer notation) of this lovely bossa nova tune. Curnow uses flugelhorns to create a warm, lush, lyrical melody that floats in and out of various counter lines. There is a tenor sax solo which is followed by a marvelous full ensemble passage. The melody returns and takes things out to the end. Very reasonable ranges (1st tpt. high Db only) and rhythms make this very playable by most bands.

English.

Written for and recorded by the Maynard Ferguson Birdland Dream Band, this chart by Willie Maiden is uncharacteristically easy to play for the band due to very reasonable brass ranges. However, this is a 2 tenor saxophone and 2 trombone feature throughout. While quite a bit of the solos are written out, there is also a lot of space for improvisation. This is one of Willie's most delightful pieces scored for Maynard. 5-4-4-3.
