Big Band Standards all levels
l Mood Indigo (Little Big Band)Duke Ellington/
arr. Mark Taylor. The flowing melody and lush
harmonies of this Ellington favorite are set in a
medium samba style in this creative arrangement
that takes full advantage of the little big band
format. In addition to full ensemble choruses and
trade-offs, there is solo space for alto sax as well
as guitar and/or piano with suggested solos and
chord/scale sheets included. Instrumentation: Six
horns (ATB Saxes, 2 Trumpets, 1 Trombone) plus
4 Rhythm. Optional additional parts are included for
Alto, Tenor and Trombone.

Mood IndigoDuke Ellington/arr. Vince Gassi.
This medium swing arrangement of the dreamy
Ellington tune will cook at just about any tempo
but the recommended tempo is approximately 108
beats per minute. The chart features a written tenor
sax solo and a lot of interplay between the brass
and saxes. It's even got a four bar stop-time section
providing some rhythmic contrast. The Duke would
be pleased that you're playing one of his songs on
your next concert program! Optional reduced or
expanded instrumentations.

4 Moon RiverHenry Mancini/arr. Billy Byers. As
recorded by the Count Basie Orchestra on their
album This Time by Basie, Billy Byers arranged a
wonderful, easy-swinging masterpiece. Cleverly, he
set this Mancini classic in 4/4 to accommodate the
Basie band's iconic style. This is a terrific big band
chart that belongs in every library right alongside
I Can't Stop Loving You, Nice 'n Easy and I Left
My Heart in San Francisco. There's space for a
trumpet solo, and the ensemble writing is quite
playable by most bands. This is oh, so nice and
highly recommended!
10530081 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . M 52.00
n My Funny ValentineRichard Rodgers/arr.
Sammy Nestico. Feature either trumpet or flugel on
this creative arrangement of a timeless standard.
Written in ballad style, there's some nice ensemble
scoring and a brief, easy section in 3/4. Definitely a
top choice for younger bands!
2328144 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . ME 45.00
H My Funny ValentineRichard Rodgers/arr. Bill
Holman. As originally recorded by the great Charlie
Mariano with the Stan Kenton Orchestra, this is
a must-have ballad feature for alto saxophone.
Let your alto player (or trumpet...parts provided
for either) shine on this popular standard!
Instrumentation: 5-5-5-4.
10076371 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . MA 55.00
H
My Funny ValentineRichard Rodgers/arr. Mike
Smukal. Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart gave the
jazz world this beautiful ballad, and arranger Mike
Smukal sets it as a lush trumpet or flugelhorn
solo feature. The entire solo is notated and can
effectively be performed with no improvisation.
It also features a wonderful double-time section
with everything written out, easy ranges, some
nice substitute chords and lush harmonies. This
arrangement includes optional parts for flute, horn
in F, baritone and tuba. This is an exceptional chart
at an accessible level! Highly recommended!
10049705 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . ME 48.00
One O'Clock JumpCount Basie/arr. Jeff Hest.
This is the original Count Basie chart, recreated by
Jeff Hest. Meticulously notated with Basie's simple
but timeless piano solo, transcribed solos for first
and second tenors, trombone, trumpet and bass,
and the mother of all Basie swinging shout choruses,
this is a classic that deserves a place in every jazz
ensemble's repertoire! Highly recommended!
2701974 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . M 60.00
H Pennsylvania 6-5000Jerry Gray/arr. John
Berry. Here's a perfect touch of swing era
nostalgia with this signature tune from the Glenn
Miller Orchestra. All the elements of the original
are here in this more accessible version including
the famous sax melody, written trumpet and alto
solos and, of course, full band vocals. A real
crowd pleaser!
10028094 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . ME 45.00
n PerdidoJuan Tizol/arr. Dallas Burke. Here's
an updated treatment of the Ellington favorite that
features great ensemble writing. This straight-
ahead arrangement features an open solo section,
a medium tempo, a traditional swing style, and a
very nice sax section soli passage. No surprises...
it ends strong and swings hard!

Playing on the Changes—Bob Mintzer.
These 13 jazz etudes review various chord qualities found
in jazz tunes in all 12 keys. Areas covered include major
7th chords, minor 7th chords, dominant 7th chords,
minor ii(b5) chords, tritone substitutions, and a variety
of progressions using all the above. Each etude solo
traverses the changes in a way that familiarizes players
with the sound of each harmonic setting. They are also
modeled after ideas, such as melodic and rhythmic
patterns, or singable melodies, that performers should
strive to use when improvising through chord changes.
