Professional Series - Professional Collection Add To Cart $55.00PDF Preview Listen! The Friar and Dr Goulding Big Band (15-piece) 5 Saxes - 4 Trumpets - 3 Trombones - 3 RhythmThis is a tune I wrote for the HERB POMEROY ORCHESTRA and which Herb recorded on his Band in Boston album. It’s a good chart for professional musicians and will also provide a stimulating challenge to higher level college ensembles. Key Signature: F Time Signature: 4/4 Tempo: ca. 175 Top 1st Tpt Note: Written E above the staff Solos: Trumpet 2, Piano, Alto 2 Add To Cart $55.00PDF Preview Listen! Moody Street Big Band (15-piece) 5 Saxes - 4 Trumpets - 3 Trombones - 3 RhythmThis Joe Ciavardone tune is loosely based on the chord changes to Duke Ellington’s “In A Mellow Tone”. The arrangement is a tasteful crowd-pleaser which the band enjoys playing. It contains a fairly adventurous, but conquerable, sax soli. Check out Dick Johnson's recording of this on Star Dust & Beyond: A Tribute to Artie Shaw.

This piece presents a number of challenges but the outcome should be worth the effort. Key Signature: G, A-Flat and C Time Signature: 4/4 Tempo: ca. 179 Top 1st Tpt Note: Written High C-Sharp Solos: Trombone 1, Alto 2, Trumpet 2, Bari Sax, Tenor 1 and Piano Add To Cart $55.00PDF Preview Woody's Mood Big Band (15-piece) 5 Saxes - 4 Trumpets - 3 Trombones - 3 RhythmAlto, 3 Tenors, Bari I wrote this piece to typify the lighthearted sound and feel of the Woody Herman band when guys like Ralph Burns, Al Cohn, Jimmy Giuffre and Shorty Rogers were contributing to the book. Note the sax section: Alto, 3 Tenors & Bari. The form of the tune is unusual (9-bar A section, 12-bar A section, 8-bar bridge, 13-bar A section) yet when it’s played it sounds completely natural. Key Signature: B-flat, E-flat, A-flat Time Signature: 4/4 Tempo: ca. 145 Top 1st Tpt Note: written D above the staff Solos: Tenor 1, Bone 1, Piano
