BIG BAND STANDARDS
Big Band Standards -
All Levels
Alone Together—Howard Dietz & Arthur
Schwartz/arr. Mike Kamuf. A standard that really
hits the mark! It begins with a bass solo and a
trio of winds takes the head. The lead trumpet
range to written B above the staff, and there is
solo space for tenor with a sample solo provided.
The development section features trombones
plus the other sections as well. Optional parts
for vibes and flute. A first-class chart!

American Patrol—arr. Mike Lewis. 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 instrumentation. A winner!

April in Paris—Vernon Duke/arr. Rick Stitzel.
Made famous by The Count Basie Orchestra,
here is a great-sounding yet playable version of
this standard for developing bands. It includes
feature spots for every section and optional
written or improvised solos for trumpet and
trombone. This accessible chart maintains an
authentic sound even in this easy version. It will
even sound full and complete with only 4 saxes,
3 trumpets, 3 trombones and rhythm! Also
included are optional parts for flute, 2 clarinets,
horn in F and tuba. Highly recommended!

April in Paris—Vernon Duke/trans. Jeff Hest.
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!

Artistry in Rhythm—Stan Kenton/arr. Paul
Murtha. Composed and recorded by Stan
Kenton in the 1940s, Artistry in Rhythm became
his signature and a true classic from the big-
band era. Paul Murtha has skillfully adapted
and truncated this for younger players while
maintaining the flavor and energy of the original.
Solo piano starts things off followed by the iconic
trombone solo in the medium Latin section. The
exciting double time swing section features the
entire ensemble, then the maestoso theme
returns to close things out. Impressive!

Basie-Straight Ahead (Professional Version
as Recorded)—Sammy Nestico. 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!
