ENSEMBLE
BIG BAND STANDARDS
He Don't Get Around Much Anymore—Ellington
& Russell/arr. Mark Taylor. One of the classic
trademark tunes from the Duke Ellington library,
this familiar jazz standard is solidly scored for
younger players by Mark Taylor. When it comes
to accessible charts in a medium swing style,
this one can't be beat! Highly recommended!
10427404 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . ME 45.00
He Flight of the Foo Birds—Neal Hefti/arr. Peter
Blair. This Peter Blair chart on the Neal Hefti/
Count Basie classic is a wonderful adaptation for
younger jazz groups. It does its Basie thing with a
light and cool swing feel, includes nice changes in
texture, has brief written or ad lib solos for alto sax
and trumpet 2, and an outstanding shout chorus
with drum fills. Played at 156 bpm, the trumpet
1 range is up to written G on top of the staff,
and optional parts are included for expanded
instrumentations. Great tune, great chart!
10513893 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . ME 48.00
e I'm Getting Sentimental Over You—George
Bassman/arr. Mark Taylor. Long recognized
as the signature song for the Tommy Dorsey
Orchestra, here is a beautifully arranged setting
for young jazz ensembles. In a slow Basie-style
swing, this chart features plenty of full ensemble
scoring, modest brass ranges, a solo for trumpet,
and a brief sax soli in double-time feel.
10960662 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . ME 45.00
H In the Mood—Joe Garland/arr. Michael
Sweeney. This one's a must! Glenn Miller's big
band classic is one of the best known tunes from
the swing era, and Mike's excellent arrangement
puts it within reach of young bands. Comfortable
ranges, easy rhythm patterns and written
solos make this a perfect choice to teach your
students how to swing!
2314268 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . E 40.00
A Night at the Golden Nugget (Edited
Edition)—Gene Roland/arr. Bob Curnow. This
is one of the highly original swinging charts
featured on Stan Kenton's Adventure in Blues
album. This edited version is written for standard
big band instrumentation. This edition eases
some of the challenges of the original along
with changing the instrumentation. Alto sax
and trumpet are soloists on this medium blues
swinger. It is a lot of fun to play!
11202786 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . M 55.00
e Pennsylvania 6-5000—Jerry Gray/arr. Rick
Stitzel. Made famous by the Glenn Miller
Orchestra, here is one of the iconic hits from the
big band era! The saxes are featured on the main
melody and the entire band gets in on the vocal
chant. Scored for the youngest groups, it also
includes written solos for any trumpet and any
alto sax. Plus, it's playable with optional reduced
or expanded instrumentations. Celebrate the big
band era!
11100178 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . VE 40.00
e Perdido—Juan Tizol/arr. Mark Taylor. One of
the favorites performed by the Duke Ellington
Orchestra, Perdido is a happy and upbeat riff
tune set in a swing style. This great sounding
chart in the six-horn format (3 saxes, 2 trumpets,
trombone and rhythm section) features variety
in scoring, an open solo section, and a terrific
shout chorus for the entire ensemble. Additional
optional parts are included for alto, tenor and
trombone. Perfect for additional opportunities
for key players!
11100186 Jazz Ensemble
(Little Big Band). . . . . . . . ME 45.00
Rabble Rouser—Billy Byers. The Count Basie
Orchestra has been doing "barn burner" charts
better than almost any other big band. This Billy
Byers original starts out hot and never cools
down. The tenor saxophone is the chosen
soloist, and the full ensemble writing just keeps
on keepin' on. Talk about lifting your audience
out of their chairs - Wow! This one will do it.
11202780 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . A 55.00
He Sing, Sing, Sing—Louis Prima/arr. Vince
Gassi. Accessible and fun to rehearse and play,
this timeless swing tune contains all the key
ingredients for a real crowd pleaser! It features
the iconic drum pattern as it recurs throughout
and the solid swing style that has become so
familiar over the decades. Other features include
easy brass ranges (with trumpet 1 to written E
top space), a written drum solo and a big shout
chorus as the modulation brings it all home.
Here's a great chart that will be an essential part
of your jazz ensemble library. Optional reduced
or expanded instrumentations.
10277443 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . E 42.00
H Sing, Sing, Sing—Louis Prima/trans. Mike
Lewis. Here it is...perhaps the most recognizable
swing tune of all time! This incredible trans-
cription is as close as you're going to come to
the original (which included clarinet and less than
a full compliment of brass). This chart is scored
for a standard 5 saxes, 4 trumpets, 4 trombones
and rhythm, but aside from that, it is the original
as played by Benny Goodman. Every lick is
there, including all the Gene Krupa drum breaks!
This chart is a must for every big band's library!

solo for tenor saxophone and moderate ranges for all.
