Glenn Miller's band made this a huge World War II hit song and here it is scored for young players. This chart has no individual solos, very modest brass ranges and plenty of ensemble sound. Easy to rehearse and perform, it swings right along and is playable with optional reduced or expanded instrumentations. A winner!
This chart is simply about style! And with style is exactly how Count Basie and his orchestra played it! From the silky smooth sax soli on the head to the "Pop Goes The Weasel" trumpet solo to the "...one more time..." repeat of the last phrase, every detail of this jazz standard has been transcribed and reconstructed by Jeff Hest. A remarkable, authentic way to tell your audience what swing is really all about!
This classic composition was written to feature Shelley Manne on drum set. This new edition was created, with full score and parts, in Finale for a Hollywood Bowl Kenton tribute conducted by Bob Curnow and performed by Peter Erskine. This is an historically important work that is great fun to perform. As recorded by the Stan Kenton Orchestra on "Artistry in Rhythm" and many other CDs. 5 Saxes, 5 Trumpets, 5 Trombones, 3 Rhythm (no piano).
Don't miss your chance to play this great chart exactly as the Basie band recorded it - unsimplified! Your band will meet the challenge with enthusiasm and be proud of the results. Not for wimps!
This medium tempo swing chart is the ideal way to feature any bass or baritone instrument in your jazz ensemble. The primary usage is as a string bass feature; however, solo parts are included for string bass, baritone sax, bass clarinet, tuba and even bassoon! Choose a single soloist, or have several talented musicians trade back and forth. The solo parts are sensitive to the limitations of every solo instrument and the full ensemble gets a chance to shine too! Unique!
Bring the sounds of Bob Crosby and the big band era to life again with this fun chart for younger players! It features an authentic sound, a flexible solo section and the saxes get to whistle the melody for added fun. A great experience for young players!
Originally a hit back in 1941 for the Andrews Sisters, this classic has stood the test of time and is hard to beat for its entertainment value. This updated version has all the excitement of the original and the ranges are moderate for the trumpets. There are solos for trumpet and baritone sax in this outstanding chart that will appeal to your audiences and ensemble. Get out the saddle oxfords, bobby socks and pleated skirts for this one! Highly recommended!
