4 I Can't Stop Loving You—arr. Quincy Jones.
Every jazz fan knows it, loves it and has wished it
was in print! And now, this quintessential big-band
arrangement is finally available! As recorded by the
Count Basie Orchestra on their album Hits of the 50s
& 60s, Quincy Jones' arrangement of I Can't Stop
Loving You will bring your audiences to their feet.
Beginning with the Count's rubato piano tremolo,
this laid-back shuffle 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!

4 I'm Beginning to See the Light—arr. Paul Baker.
This is a swinger all the way! The tempo can be
anywhere between 132 - 150 bpm and there is a
written trumpet 2 solo. There's plenty of swingin'
ensemble, a great sax section soli plus optional parts
for flute, clarinet, vibes, horn, baritone horn, and tuba.
Add in trumpet plungers and sliding trombones and
it's all great stuff!

4 I'm Just Sayin'—Jim Mahaffey. If you're looking for
a funky "in-your-face" shuffle, this chart fits the bill!
Based on a 16-bar blues variation, it features a down
'n dirty loose shuffle feel, active ensemble passages
and an open solo section over 16-bar blues changes.
An effective highlight is a horns only section without
the rhythm section after the solos. Optional parts are
included for Flute, Clarinet, Horn in F and Tuba in this
chart that offers plenty of variety and fun for all!

H Jumpin' at the Woodside—Count Basie/arr.
DeRosa. This one just builds and builds! Rich DeRosa
keeps this Count Basie signature tune swinging all the
way and includes two optional tag endings to keep
the Basie style intact. The solos are written out for
piano, tenor sax, trumpet and trombone and the lead
trumpet range is to written G on top of the staff with
an A on the optional tag ending. Optional parts are
included for expanded instrumentation. One of the
Count's finest!

Greg Yasinitsky. Greg Yasinitsky has set Charlie
Parker's great bebop tune to swing at about 172 -
200 bpm. Featuring plenty of excellent sax section
solis, brass solis, solo spaces (suggested written
solos included) for tenor sax, and piano, this is fine big
band swing chart on a great tune. The lead trumpet
range goes up to written B-flat above the staff and

recommended!

moderate tempo swing chart, Rush Hour features

H Sing, Sing, Sing—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 Take the 'A' Train—Billy Strayhorn/arr. Gassi.
This chart swings all the way and is very playable
by a young jazz ensemble. Arranger Vince Gassi
offers a fresh take on this classic, yet captures the
essence of this well-known Strayhorn composition
made famous by Ellington. It's scored exactly right
for younger players... not too difficult but with fun-
to-play parts. With brief written solos for 1st alto sax
and 1st trumpet, and easy ranges, it also has plenty
of dynamics to teach. A superb chart you will play
for years to come! Optional reduced or expanded
instrumentation.

4 Things Ain't What They Used to Be—Mercer
Ellington/arr. Rich Sigler. This is a jazz classic that
every band should have in their library. The chart is
a swing shuffle played at around 116 bpm and has a
very familiar and catchy melody that flows smoothly
from section to section. Also featured are written out
solos for alto sax 1 and trumpet 2 and a lead trumpet
range to written F-sharp top line. Optional parts are
included for expanded instrumentation. A superb
arrangement that is clever and effective in every way!
