Big Band Standards all levels
n Do Nothin' Till You Hear from MeDuke
Ellington/arr. Lisa DeSpain. Introduce your young
players to the suave Mr. Ellington with this medium
tempo swing chart! It's a nice and easy presentation
of this wonderful jazz standard. The features include
a few sax section solis, written solos for trumpet
1 on the bridge and an additional 8-bar solo, the
trumpet 1 range is to written F top line, and easy
swing rhythms for all. It's Duke at his best for your
young jazz band. Playable with optional reduced or
expanded instrumentations. Highly recommended!

Don't Get Around Much AnymoreEllington
& Russell/arr. Mark Taylor. One of the classic
trademark tunes from the Duke Ellington library,
this familiar jazz standard is solidly scored for
younger players by Mark Taylor. When it comes to
accessible charts in a medium swing style, this one
can't be beat! Highly recommended!
10427404 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . ME 45.00
H Don't Get Around Much AnymoreDuke
Ellington/arr. Michael Sweeney. What better way
to introduce the music of Duke Ellington to your
young jazzers than with this wonderfully scored
arrangement by Michael Sweeney! Even at this
easy level, this chart really swings and will sound
great with limited rehearsal time. Your pianist gets a
rare chance to shine as he or she is featured on the
melody while the ensemble answers. Later, every
section gets to play the melody and there's a written
or ad lib solo for any saxophone. The final section
starts softly with saxes alone, then builds as various
layers are added. This bluesy, swinging chart is
playable with as few as 3 saxes, 2 trumpets, 1
trombone, piano and drums, and all solos have
written parts provided. This belongs in every young
jazz curriculum! Highly recommended!

4 Flight of the Foo BirdsNeal Hefti/arr. Peter
Blair. This Peter Blair chart on the Neal Hefti/Count
Basie classic is a wonderful adaptation for younger
jazz groups. It does its Basie thing with a light and
cool swing feel, includes nice changes in texture,
has brief written or ad lib solos for alto sax and
trumpet 2, and an outstanding shout chorus with
drum fills. Played at 156 bpm, the trumpet 1 range
is up to written G on top of the staff, and optional
parts are included for expanded instrumentations.
Great tune, great chart!

n Give It OneFerguson & Downey/arr. Chris Sharp.
Close to the original, but somewhat simplified,
this burning rocker from the Maynard Ferguson
library really sizzles with a driving intensity! The
lead trumpet goes up to high D with a couple high
E's thrown in for your aspiring high note specialist.
It also includes a nice chorus for a written or
improvised alto sax solo and some very cool
trumpet section solis.
10456824 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . MA 65.00
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!
10368505 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . MA 48.00
n I'm Beginning to See the Lightarr. 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!
10353493 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . ME 44.00
I'm Getting Sentimental Over YouGeorge
Bassman/arr. Rick Hirsch. Here's a wonderful
update of Tommy Dorsey's classic theme song. It's
totally playable by high school jazz bands, yet it also
sounds great with college and professional groups.
It's written as a trombone feature throughout (with
optional solo parts included for B-flat and E-flat
instruments), although super-high Dorsey-esque
chops are not required. The solo is mostly written
with a section of improvising around the melody
and ad lib fills at the end. Alternate solo parts for
trumpet and saxophone are included, as well as
optional parts for Clarinet, Flute, Vibes, and French
Horn (doubling the Trombone 1 part). The bass and
piano parts are fully notated. An outstanding ballad
feature for any program!

lib solos for trumpet and trombone. Introduce your
young jazzers to the Duke with this excellent chart!

H In the MoodJoe Garland/arr. Michael Sweeney.
This one's a must! Glenn Miller's big band classic
is one of the best known tunes from the swing era,
and Mike's excellent arrangement puts it within
reach of young bands. Comfortable ranges, easy
rhythm patterns and written solos make this a
perfect choice to teach your students how to swing!

the hot version of this big band standard arranged
by Jeff Tyzik as recorded by Doc Severinson and

classic never sounded so good!

n Indiana (Back Home Again in Indiana)arr.
Greg Yasinitsky. Greg Yasinitsky has made this
great jazz classic into an up-tempo, flag-wavin'
swinger. This excellent chart features terrific sax
solis, a written or ad lib tenor solo, some stop-
time interludes, and a rousing shout chorus. A fine
opener or closer, it also includes optional parts for
expanded instrumentations. Highly recommended!
