Cascades (Individual Arrangement from The Blues And The Abstract Truth). Edited by Rob Duboff and Jeffrey Sultanof. Arranged by Oliver Nelson. For jazz combo (alto sax, tenor sax, baritone sax, trumpet, piano, bass, and drums). Swing. Medium. Score and parts. Published by Jazz Lines Publications (JL.JLP-8854). This is one title out of 6 arrangements from the Oliver Nelson 1961 album The Blues and the Abstract Truth. In February of 1961, the sessions that later constituted the album Blues and the Abstract Truth were recorded for a new jazz label distributed by ABC-Paramount, Impulse Records. The sessions were produced by Creed Taylor, who would go on to produce classic recordings on the Verve label, and his own CTI label. Oliver Nelson had a career full of highlights by 1961. Originally from St Louis, Missouri, he had played in the bands of Louis Jordan, Louis Bellson, Erskine Hawkins, Wild Bill Davis and Quincy Jones. He had also been a house arranger at the legendary Apollo Theatre in Harlem in New York City. Nelson had made some albums under his own name as well. But it was this album that became his first masterpiece. An all-star ensemble was assembled: with Nelson were Freddie Hubbard, Eric Dolphy, George Barrow, Bill Evans, Paul Chambers, and Roy Haynes. One of the compositions on the album became a standard: Stolen Moments. The album received ecstatic reviews from the jazz press and has rarely been out of print since it’s original release. Nelson went from success to success, making big band and small group albums in a variety of settings under his own name and accompanying jazz and pop artists. He composed symphonic music as well, and toured extensively even after he moved to Los Angeles in 1967 and became established in the film and television world. He also gave workshops and seminars. He was only 43 when he died in 1975. Thanks to an agreement with Oliver Nelson, Jr, this item is now available, edited using Nelson’s original manuscripts. Nelson now joins the legendary names whose music is now available from Jazz Lines Publications. This item is arranged for alto, tenor, and baritone saxophones, trumpet, piano, bass, and drums.

I Thought About You by Jimmy Van Heusen & Johnny Mercer. Arranged by Vern Sielert. For jazz ensemble (5-4-4-4). Jazz Masters series. Swing. Grade 4. Score and set of parts. Published by Sierra Music (S1.SMP-1113). This chart comes right out of the tradition of Sammy Nestico/Count Basie. It is a marvelous arrangement of a great standard from the American Songbook. Vern Sielert sets this in a medium-swing tempo/feel and starts off with a quiet ensemble statement that leads into the solo section. The solo can be played with the player of your choice. The ensemble enters again with a super-soft chorus that ranks with the best charts out there. A nifty contrapuntal section leads into a strong, swinging ensemble section that roars out to the ending. What a sensational arrangement! 5-4-4-4.

The Daily Dance by Bill Holman. Arranged by Bill Holman. For jazz ensemble (5-5-5-3). Stan Kenton series. Fast Swing. Grade 5-6. Score and set of parts. Published by Sierra Music (S1.SMP-1095). "The Daily Dance" was recorded by the Stan Kenton Orchestra on the CD "Birthday in Britain." The piece is a very fast-swing that features solos for alto saxophone, trumpet, piano (written) and drums. This is one of the many Bill Holman masterpieces he created for the Kenton Band. It does require a mature band and a good amount of rehearsal. All the work put in will be well rewarded with performance of this terrific piece. Well done, Willis! 5-5-5-3.

Values by Neil Slater. Arranged by Neil Slater. For jazz ensemble (5-5-5-5). Jazz Masters series. Concert Jazz. Grade 5. Score and set of parts. Published by Sierra Music (S1.SMP-1094). Neil Slater has created a marvelous composition. It can be heard on Lab '91, as recorded by the University of North Texas One O' Clock Lab Band. "Values" opens with a stirring, slow theme and then moves into a 6/8 section that evolves into a marvelous fugue for the wind sections. This leads into the improvised tenor saxophone solo (a bright 4/4). The full ensemble takes over for a while, leading to a return to 6/8 for a trumpet solo. The piece then returns to the slow, gorgeous ending. Neil is one of the world's most accomplished jazz ensemble composers. 5-5-5-5.

You by Pat Metheny. Arranged by Bob Curnow. For jazz ensemble (5-4-4-4). Pat Methany series. Ballad. Grade 5. Score and set of parts. Published by Sierra Music (S1.SMP-1091). "You" was originally recorded by the Pat Metheny Group on the CD Speaking of Now. This ballad is a very emotional piece of music that features trombone (primarily), alto saxophone and trumpet. The lush, slow-moving harmonies and orchestration support the soloists until the entire ensemble takes over with a marvelous, "triumphant" phrase that is really something to hear. The piece ends in a quiet, pensive way. This is one of Pat's most beautiful melodies. 5-4-4-4.
