Originally entitled 'That's Where I Came In' and first recorded on 8th December 1941, 'Keep 'Em Flying' became a regularly played chart of the USAAF Band under Miller's direction. Taken at such a rapi...

Written and arranged in 1946 by Bill Finegan for the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, Pussy Willow was a really progressive chart for its time, and hints at the sort of writing style that Finegan would later e...

Boy/Girl & vocal backing group Billy May wrote many outstanding charts for the Miller band, and this is one of his finest. The writing is moody, sometimes dark, but harmonically rich and full. It cont...

Tommy Dorsey first recorded a version Clarence Smith's Boogie Woogie in the late 1930's. This chart is not it. It's his much better effort which is known as TD's Boogie Woogie, and is an excellent dev...

Chloe was originally a chart made famous by the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, thanks to a stunning arangement by Bill Finegan. Structurally and harmonically it was probably ahead of its time, and certainly...

This is the Stan Kenton & Anita O'Day version, though we have modified it to play with 8 brass, rather than the original 10. This chart is unusual, in that the band gets to sing the choruses and the g...

Here is Glenn Miller's ridiculously fast and difficult version of Runnin' Wild. A great chart, but please be warned - it's tough. Our only adaptation has been to score the brass for 8 rather than 6 pi...

Benny Carter wrote this piece and recorded it with his band in 1933, and it became one of the defining swing charts of the era. He later scored this arrangement for the Gene Krupa Orchestra, and it is...

Roll 'Em was a hugely popular number for the Goodman band, and its infectious boogie feel will have dancers flocking to the floor. Our version is true to the Goodman original, with a couple of modific...
