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

library! Highly recommended! Optional expanded
instrumentation.

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!

Ellington's classic blues shuffle gets the Baylock
treatment! The style is down home and the
solos are for alto, trumpet, trombone, and tenor
sax. Also included is a powerful Baylock-style

instrumentations. It's a fun chart and it gets our
highest recommendation!

Work Song—Nat Adderley/arr. Erik Morales.
Wow! If Nat Adderley could hear this chart on his
iconic jazz standard, he would be pleased! The
first statement stays very close to the original,
which is a good thing. The solos are for written
or improvised alto and trumpet, and the solo
backgrounds are simply wonderful. This swinger
plays well at about 176 bmp, has excellent full-
ensemble passages, a bari sax and rhythm
section break before the last chorus, an exciting
shout chorus, and great development. This chart
has it all! Our highest recommendation!

was in print! And now, this quintessential big-band
arrangement is finally available! As recorded by the
Count Basie Orchestra on their album This Time
by Basie: Hits of the 50s & 60s, Quincy Jones'
arrangement of I Can't Stop Loving You will bring

chart features in-your-face ensemble writing at its
finest. There is short, written-out solo space for
trombone and piano, but mostly this chart simply
swings its tail off with the entire ensemble from
beginning to end! Never has a sad song sounded
so happy! Very highly recommended!

to showcase both tenor players. Sample tenor
solos are provided, the lead trumpet range is
to written high C-sharp, there's a great sax soli
and a roaring shout chorus. Optional parts are
included for expanded instrumentations. Pure
excitement and great for festivals!

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

in live performances. It's a wonderful rendition
of this big band classic!
