Don't Let Up—Erik Sherburne/arr. Bob Turner.

up. A groovin' shuffle bass line starts it off and

then there's a solo section with straight-ahead
blues changes that can be opened up to feature
individual players. A sample solo is scored in the
alto sax part and chord changes are included in
all parts. A great opener to get the crowd going,
this small group chart also features completely
flexible instrumentation that can be tailored to
available players or to get the desired sound.

Doodlin' (Little Big Band)—Horace Silver/arr.
Chuck Israels. Horace Silver created a blues with
a perfectly consistent character and structured
the accompaniments and his piano solo in perfect
balance. Orchestrating the piano parts from
the original recording is a fairly straightforward
process. Some thought goes into choosing which
instruments best express the music and there's
some attention paid to contrasting timbres and
textures, but so much of the music already exists
in Silver's piano playing, both in his solos and in
his accompaniments, that the piece is already there
without additional writing. It's a perfect framework
that will produce a telling performance. Small Band:
ATB Saxes, Trumpet, Trombone, Piano, Guitar,
Bass, and Drums.

cadenza at the ending. Scored for six horn parts
plus rhythm section, it features completely flexible
instrumentation for almost any combination of
instruments. This fine chart is also available in a big
band version (Pepper number 10999492). Super
