More 'Bluesey' than the Miller version, this arrangement from the Gene Krupa orchestra makes a refreshing addition to any library. The chart features some lovely Guitar and Alto solo cameos and a solo...

A landmark chart from the Benny Goodman Orchestra. Goodman used many of Fletcher Henderson's arrangements for his band, but in the case of Chrisopher Columbus he played his own version, probably becau...

Nightmare was Artie Shaw's theme song and is an out and out Clarinet feature. We have transcribed Shaw's solo completely, but please be aware that it is very tricky to play. We have also supplied an a...

Summit Ridge Drive was one of Artie Shaw's hits with his Gramercy Five outfit, comprising Clarinet, Trumpet and Rhythm section. We have taken the original 6 piece arrangement and expanded it up to ful...

In the Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening is another fine song from the pens of Mercer & Carmichael, and this version is a full transcription of the Dean Martin version. The only change we have made is n...

This is the original Helen O'Connell version of Brazil, from her 1957 album 'Green Eyes', as recorded with the Marion Evans Orchestra, and it is an out and out up tempo latin vocal feature. Opening wi...

Here is the Helen O'Connell version of the Johnny Mercer classic 'Come Rain or Come Shine'. This is her original chart, and to the best of our knowledge was never commercially recorded by her. It is a...

This is a great Dean Martin number, transcribed from the original recording and augmented up to full big band voicings. The original band was 3 Saxes (C/A, A, T), Trumpet, Trombone and Rhythm, and we...

The Andrews Sisters had enormous success with Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, and this chart has the same infectious eight beat boogie woogie feel. We have scored the vocals for SSA female trio, and have als...

This Eddie Floyd / Steve Cropper soul classic has been powerfully scored for vocal with big band by Andy Firth. The writing style is big and bold, with lots of references to the opening riff which mak...

Whilst 'Are You Lonesome Tonight' is remembered as a big hit for Elvis, this version is nothing like it. It has been given an extreme makeover, and arranged with a really catchy disco feel which the b...

One of Johnny Mercer's most enduring and enchanting songs, Come Rain or Come Shine is a beautifully crafted arrangement from the pen of John Ferguson, full of lush voicings and rich in tonal colour. T...

That's My Style is the late, great Peggy Lee at her laid back best. This tune is so relaxed it is almost horizontal, yet the band's support of the vocalist is just perfect. Loud and snappy where it ne...

A lovely, late-night, torch-singer style of arrangement, with the band unobtrusively backing the vocalist throughout. A two bar intro to help the vocalist to pitch the first note, and then it's ballad...

This song was written by Cole Porter for the musical Kiss Me Kate. Our arrangement is similar to that performed by the great Julie London. This chart moves along nicely, with a mix of two and four bea...

This is the genuine Helen O'Connell version from her 'Green Eyes' album. This chart is not a transcription and has been recreated from the original manuscipts, although we have shortened the ending by...

This Dorsey classic is based on a 1944 version, when the Dorsey band was at its height. The arrangement went on to be used by the later Dorsey band under the direction of Warren Covington. It is longe...

Cherokee was the first big hit for Charlie Barnet and his Orchestra, though when Billy May arrived for the 1939 recording session and handed out the parts nobody seemed that impressed with it! This is...

A gentle, somewhat quirky chart from the Glenn Miller band of 1941 written by Jerry Gray as a two Trumpet feature. This tune grows on you, has an easy tempo and is really smooth. The 'hook' is is in t...

Goodbye was Benny Goodman's closing theme. A slow, hauntingly beautiful composition from Gordon Jenkins, rich in musical colour and tonality and a fine testament to Benny. We have faithfully reproduce...

A rare chart from the Artie Shaw band, Jungle Drums is a medium tempo Clarinet & Tenor Sax feature, and is a throuroughly melodic interpretation of Ernesto Lecuona's original Beguine. Provided that yo...
