Just like the original studio version as scored by the composer. We have faithfully transcribed Plas Johnson's original solo, and have scored the string section lines behind the sax solo onto the elec...

Hound Dog is firmly associated with Elvis, and Clapton did a good cover of it too. However, our version is not really rock'n'roll. It opens as a slightly funk latin in C minor, moving to C major for t...

This arrangement of Ravel's Bolero is somewhat quirky, yet is an interesting swing take on a classical tune. Goodman recorded this chart in 1939 with a band that contained a 6-piece brass section, and...

Here is our transcription of what is arguably Perez Prado's most famous chart, Guaglione. The only adjustment that we have made to the original is to lower the Trumpet ranges in a couple of places, th...

Here is a transcription of the original (and best) Cute, as written by Neal Hefti for the Basie Band. It is not the 'standard' Hefti stock chart. The only change we have made is to score the chart for...

One of the more famous tunes from the Les Brown Orchestra, Leap Frog is one of those charts that gets feet tapping and dancers dancing. It simply bounces from start to finish. Technically, this is a s...

Here is the Perez Prado version of Patricia, scored as a swing Cha Cha. As the song was written by Prado, this version is as the composer intended it to sound. The Piano part is played on Organ, but a...

Originally written in 1915 for solo Piano, Hors D'Oeuvre became a huge hit for both Sid Phillips and Bert Ambrose. The chart was also revived by Billy May in his Time Life Swing Era recordings. This c...

Whilst almost everyone knows the Miller version of this Jerry Gray tune, not so many are familiar with the Benny Goodman chart arranged by Mel Powell for Goodman in 1942. It is taken more up-tempo and...

Transcribed from her Harold Arlen songbook album, this fabulous Ella chart was originally arranged by the late, great Billy May and it swings like crazy from start to finish. His use of the unison sax...

A bouncy vocal from Anita O'Day and the Gene Krupa band, with an unreasonably long title! This chart was one of the most requested of O'Day's repertoire, and we have faithfully recreated it for you he...

Cole Porter penned some fabulous songs. My Heart Belongs to Daddy was written for the 1938 musical, Leave it to Me, and has a wonderfully naughty lyric where 'daddy' means 'sugar daddy'. Our arrangeme...

Here is a really unusual take on a well known Christmas carol. The chart opens in a 'Baroque' allegro with the reeds and brass in call and response and then shifts to an 8 funk groove led by the saxes...

Here's a bit of Christmas cheer, courtesy of Bing Crosby and the inimitable Andrews Sisters. This chart is just happy and fun from start to finish. Written for a male vocal and female vocal trio, it i...

Here is Kay Starr's Christmas classic, (Everybody's Waitin' for) the Man with The Bag. The song was written in 1950 and released in the same year on Capitol 1256. The original arrangement was scored b...

After a short intro the Baritone takes the melody as a solo, followed by the sax team, with the brass finishing off the melody phrase. Trombone 2 picks up the melody as a solo, completed by the whole...
