BIG BAND STANDARDS
H Shiny Stockings—Frank Foster/arr. Greg
Yasinitsky. Frank Foster's composition Shiny
Stockings is one of the greatest jazz tunes ever for
big band. Arranged by Greg Yasinitsky and scored at
an accessible level, this chart has all the ingredients
you expect plus a few short section solis and an
ensemble shout chorus. This arrangement stays
very close to the original, yet is more accessible for
developing groups. Other features include a written
solo for 2nd trumpet with the lead trumpet range to
written A above the staff. This Basie classic belongs
in every jazz library! Highly recommended! Optional
expanded instrumentation.

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.

H Sing, Sing, Sing—Louis Prima/trans. Mike Lewis.
Here it is...perhaps the most recognizable swing
tune of all time! This incredible transcription 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!

H Sing, Sing, Sing—Louie Prima/arr. Victor Lopez.
Yep, this is the Sing, Sing, Sing you know and
love, made famous by Gene Krupa and the Benny
Goodman Orchestra, only arranged for young
players by Victor Lopez. The classic drum solo that
can be opened up for as much excitement as the
crowd can stand, along with a written-out tenor
solo, reasonable brass ranges and lots of meaty
ensembles keep this great chart exciting. It will
also sound full with reduced instrumentation or
with the optional, non-jazz band parts. It's still a
showstopper! Highly recommended!

H
Sing, Sing, Sing—Louis Prima/arr. Gordon
Goodwin. A few twists and turns added to the
original Benny Goodman swing version make this
chart a definite crowd and band pleaser. Gordon
Goodwin's arrangement features a clarinet part
and an alternate alto 1 part in lieu of clarinet. Solo
changes are provided for all saxophone parts and
clarinet, and the lead trumpet range is to high
F-sharp. While not recorded by Goodwin's Big Phat
Band, it's a staple of the band's library and is played
often in live performances. It's a wonderful rendition
of this big band classic!

The Singing Oyster—Dee Barton. This is
one of the most popular charts on The Jazz
Compositions of Dee Barton recording by the Stan
Kenton Orchestra. This is the original arrangement
as recorded by Kenton. Starting lightly with
unison saxophones, the chart then adds brass
backgrounds growing in intensity and leading to a
trumpet solo followed by some of the coolest (and
most challenging) ensemble writing ever. There is
a good bit of unison line playing by everyone in the
band. The drums then bring the full band into a
shout chorus that lifts you out of your chair. There
is a return to the lighter side for a bit and then back
to the roaring shout!

Nelson classic falls right in the pocket at about
110 bpm. The iconic melody is unforgettable and

band at any ability level.

Stompin' at the Savoy—arr. Greg Yasinitsky.
After the initial statement, Greg Yasinitsky gives
this Benny Goodman treasure an updated and
contemporary flair while remaining true to the
original. It's all there in this exciting chart... nice
dynamic contrasts, a stop-time section, a sax
section soli, ensemble interludes, a written or
improvised trumpet 2 solo, and it's all played
around 168 bpm. The lead trumpet range is to
written B-flat above the staff and optional parts are
included for expanded instrumentations. Solid with
proven appeal!

Stompin' at the Savoy—arr. Mike Lewis. Feature
your bass player! Arranger Mike Lewis has taken
this classic Benny Goodman swing tune and turned
it into an easy, melodic showcase for the bass.
Mike also provides solo space with written solos
for 1st tenor sax and piano. The brass ranges are
modest and the chart really swings from beginning
to end! Don't let the year go by without playing this
one that sounds great with electric or acoustic bass.
Superb chart!

a kickin' shout chorus - it's all here, enjoy!

String of Pearls—Jerry Gray/arr. Mike Lewis.
Arranger Mike Lewis has taken this swinging Glenn
Miller hit and arranged it for easy jazz ensemble.
His clever reworking of the solo sections and the
descending harmony line makes this chart very
playable for the young jazz musician. The trumpet
1 range is to written F top line and it features
instrumentation options from 9 to 19 players. This
is one of the ultimate crowd pleasers and it's ideal
for any performance!

Take the 'A' Train—Billy Strayhorn/arr. Michael
Sweeney. Billy Strayhorn's iconic jazz standard,
recorded by Duke Ellington, is skillfully adapted in
this easy version. From the trademark introduction,

Take the "A" Train—Billy Strayhorn/arr. Don
Sebesky. Of all the arrangements done of this
iconic Strayhorn/Ellington standard, Don Sebesky's
chart, written for the Maynard Ferguson Orchestra
(and recorded numerous times), ranks as one of
the best, most creative, and challenging versions.
This compliment to the chart has been scored
for standard big band instrumentation (five
saxophones, four trumpets, four trombones, piano,
bass and drums.) This one really moves, and it will
move your band and audiences!

That's All—Haymes & Brandt/arr. Billy Byers.
As recorded on Basie Picks the Winners, this
wonderful Billy Byers chart takes the lovely
standard into a whole new world. There is a bit
of flute to be played by your first tenor, a trumpet
and piano solo, and there is some exquisite
writing creating great shout choruses and subtle
voicing for the band. With moderate ranges for
all, you will love this one!

smoothly from section to section. Also featured

energy, it features solo work for tenor sax (sample
