4 Come Fly with Mearr. Billy Byers. Billy Byers'
arrangement of Come Fly With Me was recorded
on the Basie band's album Frankly Basie: Count
Basie Plays the Hits of Frank Sinatra. Set in an
up-tempo swing feel, Byers hits it hard at the top
and doesn't let up until the end of the chart! The
interplay between saxophones and brass is clever
and energetic, while the full ensemble writing is the
classic Basie sound at its finest. There is solo space
for tenor sax with fantastic ensemble backgrounds
throughout much of it. No jazz library is complete
without this classic Count Basie chart which is
flawlessly written in the classic swing style!

H Count BubbaGordon Goodwin. Here's a
monster of a swinger that's designed to feature
the entire ensemble. In addition to a wonderful riff-
based theme and a very satisfying shout chorus,
the chart includes section feature spots for saxes,
trumpets and trombones, without the rhythm
section. Very effective!

n Count Bubba's RevengeGordon Goodwin.
Revenge is very sweet! It's a shuffle swing that
builds and builds, and on top of that, it showcases
all the sections by trading back and forth, even
playing without the rhythm section in the center
section. Solo space is provided for tenor, bari,
trumpet, trombone, and piano or guitar. Gordon
is masterful at creating a chart that exudes energy
and excitement, and this one sure delivers.

n Count Me In (Pro Version)Billy Byers. Much
like Neal Hefti's Li'l Darlin', this Billy Byers original
exemplifies quiet, warm ensemble writing at its
finest. There is also the contrast of a strong shout
section before returning to the quieter approach.
This was recorded by the Count Basie Orchestra
on the album Count Basie's Finest Hour. Set in
a medium-slow swing feel, there are improvised
solos for trumpet and piano. In this original version,
the arrangement is exactly as recorded by the
Basie band.

n DoozyBenny Carter. At a bright swing, here is
the big-band version of one of Benny Carter's most
popular tunes. This arrangement was written for the
The American Jazz Orchestra in 1986 and features
a solo for trumpet as well as a lengthy shout
section. Edited from the original Carter manuscript,
this new publication swings hard and is one of
Carter's most enduring compositions.

Embraceable YouGeorge Gershwin/arr.
Darmon Meader. Here's a tasty chart on this
Gershwin classic from the Great American
Songbook! With a medium swing feel at about 120
bpm, it features optional flugelhorns to add to the
rich textures, a written solo provided for tenor sax,
and a lead trumpet range to written high C. It will be
a pleasure to play this chart!

4 Foo Birds of a FeatherReginald Thomas. This
bright swinger at about 150 bpm features a melodic
head carried by a duet of tenor and trombone, then
breaks to a hard swing, and includes a vibrant
sax soli. The trumpet and trombones offer section
trades and the solo space is for tenor, trumpet, or
anyone. Commissioned by the Jazz Division of the
Illinois Music Education Association for the 2016 All
State Jazz Ensemble, this chart provides a wealth of
teaching opportunities. A full ensemble shout with
drum fills rounds it out before a return to the head.
The combination of a swinging melodic line, ample
solo space and outstanding ensemble writing make
this a must for any library!

n Fun TimeSammy Nestico. First recorded in
1968 on the Count Basie album, Basie Straight
Ahead, this version has been given a whole new
treatment and features alto sax, trombone and an
optional baritone sax solo. The harmonic structure
is beautiful and it swings along at a moderate pace.
Highly recommended!

n Give It OneFerguson & Downey/arr. Alan
Baylock. You have got to have this spectacular
Alan Baylock chart on the Maynard Ferguson
and Alan Downey classic! Alan's arrangement is
reminiscent of Maynard's version, but in a lower
key since the lead trumpet only goes to written
D above the staff. The tempo is brisk at about
220 bpm, but it could be played effectively at a
slightly slower tempo. Solo space is provided for
all four trumpets for flexibility. Truly outstanding,
and highly recommended!

n High MaintenanceGordon Goodwin. Here's a
swingin' shuffle that offers a hot sax soli, with some
great solo lines for the bari, too! It's got plenty of
sass and a spunky attitude from beginning to end.
It's a natural choice for festival or concert programs.
Optional parts for vibes and flute are included.

l HoneybeeAaron Hedenstrom. Honeybee is
a lovely, cool, easy-swinging chart that explores
linear material with the drummer featured
throughout on brushes. This chart has the feel
of a theme and variations, and contains very rich
harmonies and voicings. Flute and bass clarinet
doubles are required.

n I Can't Stop Loving Youarr. 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 This Time by Basie: 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!

H
I Got RhythmGeorge Gershwin/arr. Dave Wolpe.
Wow! If you have a hot trombone player in your
band, you've got to check out this chart! This thing
smokes from beginning to end, and it just gets better
and better as it unfolds. It's got the classic Gershwin
sound, the incredibly skillful writing of Dave Wolpe,
and plenty of space for your lead trombone player to
strut his or her stuff! The solo trombone part sits at
the medium-advanced level.

4 I Heard the Bells on Christmas Dayarr.
Gordon Goodwin. If you're looking for a more
substantial holiday offering for better groups, this
Gordon Goodwin chart is it! It's a medium-slow
swing take on this Johnny Marks standard with a
few modulations, outstanding ensemble passages,
terrific shout choruses, and solo space for all saxes,
trumpet 4 and trombones 1 and 2. Very creative!

l I'll Be Seeing Youarr. Willie Maiden. Short,
sweet and swinging! Willie Maiden's arrangement
of I'll Be Seeing You packs a whopper in a tiny
box, making this chart perfect as an encore or
closer. As recorded by Maynard Ferguson and
his orchestra on the album Dancing Sessions,
Maiden's arrangement makes great use of the
trombone section as they carry the melody upfront
before passing it around to the rest of the band.
There is some space for a short trumpet solo before
the band comes roaring in at the end to take it out
with a punch!

4 I'll Never Smile Againarr. Billy Byers. Billy
Byers' arrangement of I'll Never Smile Again takes
one back to a time when dancing to a slow swing
tune, played by a live big band in a ballroom filled
with amazing sounds, was the absolute best part
of any weekend! Originally recorded by the Count
Basie Orchestra on their album Frankly Basie:
Count Basie Plays the Hits of Frank Sinatra, Byers'
chart uses the full ensemble to state the melody
complete with a scattering of Basie fills, followed
by a written Basie piano solo. There is also written
solo space for trombone before the band enters in
its full power and leads it to the quintessential Basie
ending. This chart is a must-have!

4 iBopMark Taylor. We all have our iPhones,
iPads, and iPods, and now thanks to Mark Taylor
we have iBop! This medium-tempo swinger is
bop-ish in attitude and features a catchy riff-based
melody stated first by the saxes. A flexible written
or ad lib solo section allows for plenty of options,
and the chart wraps up with a complete chorus
beautifully crafted for the full ensemble.

In the MoodJoe Garland/arr. Jeff Tyzik. Here is
the hot version of this big band standard arranged
by Jeff Tyzik as recorded by Doc Severinson and
the Tonight Show Band. With a dressed up feel
and solos for alto, tenor and trumpet, this timeless
classic never sounded so good!
