l Vierd Blues (aka Trane's Blues)Miles Davis/
arr. Michael Philip Mossman. Recorded in the mid-
1950s and also known as Trane's Blues, this jazz
classic is credited to Miles Davis but reportedly

Michael Mossman's refreshing version crafted in a
moderate cha-cha groove puts this standard tune
in a completely new light. The solo section can
be handled by any saxophone. Suggested solos,
chord/scale sheets in all keys, written bass lines
and piano voicings are all included.

outstanding arrangement! Originally arranged for the HR Big Band (Germany),

l
FM—Walter Becker & Donald Fagan/arr. Fred Sturm. This Steely Dan
rocker was arranged for the WDR Big Band (Germany), and is worthy of any
band's library. In typical Sturm fashion, the beginning of FM is a kaleidoscope
of independent fragments culminating with the original Steely Dan introduction
as it moves into the melody played by clarinets. While this chart certainly rocks,
there is a depth and warmth in the stating of the melody before it rips into a
tenor saxophone solo. There is also space for a shredding guitar or trumpet solo.
Trumpets double on flugelhorns and the woodwind parts include clarinets 1 and
2, tenor sax 1/clarinet 3, soprano sax/tenor sax 2 and bass clarinet/baritone sax.
Ending in clever fashion, this chart will be great for any band wanting to give their
audiences something new!

Gaucho—Walter Becker & Donald Fagan/arr. Fred Sturm. Steely Dan's
Gaucho was originally arranged by Fred Sturm for the HR Big Band (Germany).
Set in a slow half-time gospel feel, there is beautiful, lush ensemble writing
throughout the piece. As with most Steely Dan charts, there is plenty of solo
space to feature guitar or trumpet, and it's a great way to add diversity to any
program. Trumpets double on flugelhorns and the woodwind parts include
flutes 1 an 2, soprano saxophones 1 and 2, and baritone saxophone. Bands and
audiences alike will thoroughly enjoy this one!

The Goodbye Look—Donald Fagan/arr. Fred Sturm. One of the masters of
contemporary big band arranging, the late, great Fred Sturm completely captures
the Steely Dan vibe in this arrangement of The Goodbye Look. Originally arranged
for the WDR Big Band (Germany), Sturm gives the lead trombone and section
Donald Fagan's voice of melody. Contrasted with full ensemble writing underneath
a relaxed samba feel, this chart is the perfect addition to any program looking to
add variety and enjoyment. There is also solo space for guitar and/or piano.
