I Left My Heart in San Francisco—arr. Quincy
Jones. Quincy Jones wrote some incredible
arrangements on very popular tunes for the Count
Basie Orchestra. As recorded on This Time By
Basie, Quincy's arrangement of I Left My Heart
in San Francisco features great interplay between
the ensemble playing the melody, and the piano
with written solo fills. With a tempo around 108
bpm, and a relaxed swing feel, there's also short
solo space for tenor saxophone, and the ranges
are very moderate. This chart is playable by a lot
of bands. It's a true classic! Highly recommended!

4 I've Got You Under My Skin—Cole Porter/arr.
Bill Cunliffe. Here's a medium swinger on this
iconic Cole Porter standard with an easygoing
feel at about 132 bpm. Featuring great ensemble
passages as well as written or improvised solos
for tenor sax, trumpet, and alto sax with an alto
cadenza, it includes a sweet shout chorus, nice
development, and a written trumpet range to
B-flat. Oh, so nice!

classic is a must for every jazz band library!
Carefully edited and available with a full score, this
arrangement has everything you need to recreate
the original including a trumpet solo, and a short

tenor saxes. It's a guaranteed crowd-pleaser!

the entire ensemble a workout.

4 Moanin'—Bobby Timmons/arr. Dave Mills. This
sultry blues tune by Bobby Timmons was made
famous by Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers and
makes a call and response swinger that should
be part of every jazz library. It includes improvised
solos for alto, tenor, trumpet or trombone. The
ensemble section features some great ensemble
writing based on famous solos from classic
recordings. Here are classic jazz lines that lay just
right for all instruments! Highly recommended!

4 Moon River—Henry 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!

4 Move (from Miles Davis' Birth of the Cool)—
Denzil Best/arr. Mike Tomaro. Recorded by Miles
Davis on his landmark album Birth of the Cool,
this jazz standard was composed by Denzil Best
using the same chord changes as Count Basie's
Jumpin' at the Woodside. This exciting chart
features an up-tempo swing style along with a
fabulous soli for the saxes. This one is a great
introduction to the music of a jazz icon!

H Out of the Doghouse—Erik Morales. Arranger/
composer Erik Morales delivers! This out-
standing shuffle chart sounds like a big old
freight train coming down the tracks, and it
just builds and builds! There's a wonderful
section after the optional solos that features a
powerful sax soli without the rhythm section,
and there are great breaks for piano and drums
throughout. There are also some independent
bari sax lines and optional written solos for alto,
tenor and guitar. The lead trumpet range is to
written A above the staff and there's an optional
ending with lead trumpet notes up to C. This
is a hot chart! Our highest recommendation!
Optional expanded instrumentation.

l Sack of Woe (Little Big Band)—Julian
Adderley/arr. Mark Taylor. Mark Taylor has
provided an outstanding little big band version of
this famous Cannonball Adderley tune. Released
in 1960, Sack of Woe features a soulful straight-
eighth groove with a swing feel and works great
in the little big band format. Instrumentation: six
horns (ATB saxes, two trumpets, one trombone)
plus four rhythm with optional additional parts for
alto, tenor and trombone. An all-time favorite in
the jazz repertoire.

4 Sandu—Clifford Brown/arr. Chris Sharp. Clifford
Brown's Sandu has long been a jam-session
staple for anyone that wants to shred some E-flat
blues. Chris Sharp delivers great ensemble writing
that really swings in the chart's blow section. The
familiar melody is featured with a trumpet and tenor
sax duet at the top of the tune and returns with
the duet at the end. Sandu also includes written or
improvised solos for tenor sax and trumpet with
a great "rhythm out" interlude between the solos.
As if that isn't enough, there's an excellent sax
section soli and a roaring shout chorus before the
recap! Our highest recommendation!

4 Saturday Morning Blues—Mike Tomaro. Mike
Tomaro just takes his time in unfolding this out-
standing study on the blues for big band! At around
60 bpm, it begins with a laidback solo piano
introduction joined by a trumpet soloist leading
to the first ensemble statement. It begins to get a
little more down and dirty and gradually builds to
the solo section. The solos are all about the blues
with sultry backgrounds. Then the ensemble
trades with the drummer and there's another
solo section. Then the band starts to open up,
and builds, and builds, and builds, all the while
just laying back in that bluesy groove. They don't
get any better than this! Very highly recommended!

H Shiny Stockings—Frank Foster/arr. Greg
Yasinitsky. Frank Foster's composition Shiny
Stockings is one of the greatest jazz tunes ever
for big band. Arranged by Greg Yasinitsky and
scored at an accessible level, this chart has
all the ingredients you expect plus a few short
section solis and an ensemble shout chorus. This
arrangement stays very close to the original, yet
is more accessible for developing groups. Other
features include a written solo for 2nd trumpet
with the lead trumpet range to written A above
the staff. This Basie classic belongs in every jazz
library! Highly recommended! Optional expanded
instrumentation.

H Sing, Sing, Sing—Louis Prima/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!

4 Stompin' at the Savoy—arr. Greg Yasinitsky.
After the initial statement, Greg Yasinitsky gives
this Benny Goodman treasure an updated and
contemporary flair while remaining true to the
original. It's all there in this exciting chart... nice
dynamic contrasts, a stop-time section, a sax
section soli, ensemble interludes, a written or
improvised trumpet 2 solo, and it's all played
around 168 bpm. The lead trumpet range is to
written B-flat above the staff and optional parts
are included for expanded instrumentations. Solid
with proven appeal!

4 There Will Never Be Another You (Little Big
Band)—Harry Warren/arr. Rick Stitzel. Set in
a medium swing style, this chart for small band
opens with a duet of trumpet and baritone sax
on the iconic melody. The rest of the ensemble
provides the accompaniment, then a tutti shout
chorus follows the solo section. The solo spaces
are for tenor and trumpet with suggested solos and
chord/scale sheets included. Instrumentation: six
horns (ATB saxes, two trumpets, one trombone)
plus four rhythm with optional additional parts for
alto, tenor and trombone. A marvelous setting of
a familiar standard!

4 Things Ain't What They Used to Be—Mercer
Ellington/arr. Alan Baylock. Mercer Ellington's
classic blues shuffle gets the Baylock treatment!
The style is down home, the solos are for alto,
trumpet, trombone, and tenor sax, and the
lead trumpet range is to written G on top of the
staff. Also included is a powerful Baylock-style
shout chorus and optional parts for expanded
instrumentations. It's a fun chart and it gets our
highest recommendation!

4 Work Song—Nat Adderley/arr. Erik Morales.
Wow! If Nat Adderley could hear this chart on
his iconic jazz standard, he would be pleased!
The first statement stays very close to the
original, which is a good thing. The solos are
for written or improvised alto and trumpet, and
the solo backgrounds are simply wonderful.
This swinger plays well at about 176 bmp,
has excellent full-ensemble passages, a bari
sax and rhythm section break before the last
chorus, an exciting shout chorus, and great
development. This chart has it all! Our highest
recommendation!
