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.

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.

Waltz. Composed by Rolf Ericson. Arranged by Don Sebesky. Sheet music. Score and parts. Handelsware #SMP 1200. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-1200).

English.

As recorded by the Maynard Ferguson Orchestra (and included in the Mosaic CDs The Complete Roulette Recordings of the Maynard Ferguson Orchestra), this is one of those charts that escaped notice for many, many years. Don Sebesky, one of the world's premier arrangers, took a magnificant Rolf Ericson tune and created an arrangement unlike anything you've heard before. The melody is stated by alto saxophone and trumpet, weaving in and out of various textures created by muted brass. The waltz feel begins to accelerate and rise at a climactic point where the melody is once again taken over by a solo trumpet and alto saxophone. Surprisingly, brass ranges are moderate. If you wish to program a piece which will have a very unique flavor and great audience appeal, this would be the chart! 5-4-4-3 (opt. original instrumentation available as 4-4-2-3).

This one is way cool, but the energy it creates is hot. It's a medium tempo swinger in a minor key, reminiscent of some of the great Buddy Rich tunes. Just when you think you know where it's going, the harmonies change and lead to something new. The open section for solos of your choice is built upon very basic minor Blues changes. Plenty of dynamic contrasts, with a very soft sax soli leading into a shout chorus that really roars.

Ballad. Composed by Cole Porter and Stanley Newcomb Kenton. Arranged by Lennie Niehaus. Sheet music. Score and parts. Handelsware #SMP 1151. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-1151).

English.

This is a beautiful, lush, straight-eighth ballad on the popular Cole Porter tune Easy To Love. Arranged by Lennie Niehaus, this short (and quite dancable) chart exemplifies the Kenton-esque warm and rich ensemble sound we all love. There is solo space for piano (written out) and for alto saxophone. Originally recorded by the Stan Kenton Orchestra on their album Sophisticated Approach, this popular tune out of the Great American Songbook will put a smile on any audience's face. 5-5-5-3.

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.

This is another one of those absolutely wonderful charts that Lennie did for Stan Kenton for what was known as the dance book. It was the hippest dance book ever! A medium-swing tempo sets this great standard in a framework that is very musical and very exciting. Trumpet and bass are featured. Limited ranges (tpt. written high D).
