Lush Life Jazz Ensemble Sheet Music

Traumerei was written by Robert Schumann in 1838, the seventh of a set of thirteen pieces for solo Piano. Our chart is based on the Claude Thornhill arrangement of this popular melody, though we have...

A rare and beautiful chart from the Glenn Miller orchestra, this chart was originally scored by Bill Finegan and is his interpretation of Tschaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1. The arrangement is full o...

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...

Mambo En Sax was one of four tunes recorded late in 1956 by the fledgling Fraternity Records label in what would prove to be Jimmy Dorsey's last recording session before his untimely death in 1957. Th...

One of Woody Herman's less well known works, La Cucaracha is nevertheless a great latin arrangement by Billy May which develops this simple tune into a fine chart. The reeds are scored for CTTTB, but...

Here is a very straight-ahead Latin (Cha Cha) version of Old Devil Moon, as played by Tito Puente and his Orchestra. It is an ensemble chart from start to end, and also very dancable. The arrangement...

Chu Cho is a wonderful Latin number from the pen of the great Paquito D'Rivera, written for Mario Bauza and his Afro-Cuban Orchestra. This tune simply oozes style, and also offers a chance to show off...

Por Una Cabeza is the famous Argentinian Tango from the film 'Scent of a Woman'. Our arrangement is very easy to play, with low brass ranges, yet makes for great Tango. The 'verse' is played by Flute,...

Transcribed from the original Johnny Keating chart, Ol' Man River is an absolute screamer of a chart, from the time when the Ted Heath band was at its height. Heath recorded two slightly different ver...

Mambo Jambo is another fine composition from Perez Prado, and is a powerful Mambo chart that has an all pervading swing feel. The usual Prado trademarks are here, with unison Saxes in the first chorus...

Cerezo Rosa, or Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White as it is otherwise known, is probably Perez Prado's most well known piece. In essence, it's a Trumpet solo with big band backing, and is instantly r...

Our chart of Desafinado is written as a smooth bossa, featuring your two tenor saxes. The sax solo lines are written out, so no improvisation is needed. The brass have limited ranges, with trumpets on...

Here is Estrellita, as played by Perez Prado and his orchestra. This chart is a lovely combination of melodic Trumpet feature and big band latin, in a style that only Prado can achieve. The Trumpet so...

'Wheels' is a neat little Cha-Cha dating from the early 1960's. Joe Loss and his Orchestra had minor chart success with their version of it. Our chart, whilst not a transcription, retains much of the...

Sinatra recorded this song a number of times during his career, but the most swinging version was the Billy May arrangement that John Ferguson has transcribed here. In typical May style, it is punchy,...

Boom Shot is a rare gem of a chart from the Glenn Miller book, co-written by Mr. Miller himself. It swings with a lilt (if not played too fast) and features your 2nd Trumpet as well as solos (written)...

Chicken Reel is a rare chart from the Glenn Miller band, originally penned by Bill Finegan. The arrangement opens with a unison rhythm riff, backed by band calls, and from there it builds in layers -...

This arrangement of The Continental is not a transcription. It has been engraved from a set of original TD band parts. Other than the addition of dynamics and articulations, the only change we have ma...

A classic chart from the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, Hawaiian War Chant is a punchy swinger which features Tenor, Trumpet and Drums. We have written all of the original solos out in full, though your play...

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...

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...

Transcribed from the 1940 Will Bradley / Ray McKinley arrangement, this is one of the most requested swing dance charts ever written. It is just perfect for the dance crowds. The chart features solos...
