Professional Series - Professional Collection Add To Cart $45.00PDF Preview U.M.M.G. (Upper Manhattan Medical Group) Big Band (12-piece) 4 Saxes (ATTB) - 3 Trumpets - 2 Trombones - 3 RhythmStrayhorn’s composition has long been treasured by jazz musicians but is virtually unknown to the general public. This arrangement strives to keep it within a style that might be considered “Strayhornian”. Key Signature: D-Flat Time Signature: 4/4 Tempo: ca. 180 Top 1st Tpt Note: Written E-Flat above High C Solos: Trumpet 2, Bari Sax Add To Cart $45.00PDF Preview What Am I Here For Big Band (12-piece) 4 Saxes (ATTB) - 3 Trumpets - 2 Trombones - 3 RhythmThis Duke Ellington tune is an arranger’s dream because of the synergistic relationship between melody and harmony. This chart preserves the original feel of the song while giving it a couple of unique twists. It works as well for dancing as it does in a concert setting. Key Signature: E-Flat, C, G, A-Flat Time Signature: 4/4 Tempo: ca. 101 Top 1st Tpt Note: Written D-Flat above High C Solos: Tenor 2, Trumpet 3, Trombone 1, Bass Add To Cart $45.00PDF Preview I’ll Remember April Big Band (12-piece) 4 Saxes (ATTB) - 3 Trumpets - 2 Trombones - 3 RhythmMany songs that have become jazz standards were not written for that noble purpose. I’ll Remember April had its debut in a 1942 Abbott and Costello movie called Ride ‘em Cowboy. This arrangement will not conjure up any memories of the film. I’ve taken a few duly respectful liberties with the melody and the rich harmonic landscape offers some interesting romping room for the soloists.

This arrangement could be called an impressionistic 21st century reincarnation of the piece. The coda is a 48-bar five-part invention which builds to a very satisfying big-bang ending. Key Signature: Dmin, F, B-Flat, Cmin, E-Flat, Fmin, Dmin Time Signature: 4/4 Tempo: ca. 211 Top 1st Tpt Note: Written F Above High C...a couple F-Sharps in last bar Solos: Tenor 1, Alto, Piano
