Bizet Has His Day by Les Brown. Arranged by Bob Martin. For big band. Swing. Medium/Difficult. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1008).
Made famous by the Les Brown Orchestra, this tune is one in a series of numbers where a classical theme is given the swing treatment. Other examples are Goodman's Bach Goes To Town, Miller's Moonlight Sonata and Story of a Starry Night. From a piano opening phrase, echoed by trombones, the lower saxes enter with the fugue, the altos vary it, and trumpets are layered on top, to arrive at the tutti swing phrase. Solos for Alto 2, Trombone 2 and Piano. Lead alto doubles clarinet, Baritone doubles alto. Lead trumpet to high C. A moderately easy chart, good to play and really effective in any band library.

Chattanooga Choo Choo by Glenn Miller. Arranged by Myles Collins. For big band. Swing. Medium Difficult. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1009).
Here is Glenn Miller's Chattanooga Choo Choo, adapted from the version in the film Sun Valley Serenade. Essentially this is the same structure as the vocal version, except that it has been modified to go straight from the end of the instrumental chorus to the surprise key change leading into the final shout chorus. This chart is therefore only two and a half minutes long, but perfectly suited. The film soundtrack and the film itself were used in order to study the players fingerings and therefore get things as right. Regarding Sax doubles, Alto 2 & Tenor 1 double Clarinets, Baritone doubles Alto. An instantly recognizable Miller chart that will be sure to please audiences everywhere. The audio is the vocal version. Please note that the vocal version (see our Vocals section) doesn't work as an instrumental (by skipping over the vocal part and going straight to the final chorus) because the band modulates from Db to C to F for the vocal version, but from Db to F for this instrumental version. Enjoy!

Caribbean Clipper by Glenn Miller. Arranged by Myles Collins. For big band. Swing. Medium. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1012).
From the pen of Jerry Gray for the Glenn Miller Orchestra, this up-tempo swing chart features the piano, (originally Mel Powell) as well as the drums in the shout chorus. A classic Miller technique is used to propel this number - unison saxes with brass punches providing rhythmic support, with the melody inverted later on to the brass, with sax figures backing. A wonderful middle passage of two trumpet pairs playing counterbalancing lines, one set open, one pair with wah-wah plungers, and both backed by glissing trombones and fill-phrased saxes is quite unique. A must for anyone's library. Lead Alto and lead Tenor double Clarinets, with Baritone doubling Alto. Swing @ 220-240 b.p.m. Ranges: Trumpets 1-4: Eb6, Eb6, B5, B5 Trombones 1-4: Bb4, A4, A4, A4.

Concerto For Clarinet, Part 1 by Artie Shaw. Arranged by Myles Collins. For big band. Swing. Advanced. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1013).
Here is Part 1 of Artie Shaw's stunning Concerto for Clarinet, written by the great man himself. Following a big tutti opening comes a stylish Clarinet cadenza intro, with band backing and solo Piano infills. The Piano then picks up into 8-beat Boogie style with a 24 bar solo, answered by the Clarinet. Solos too for Trumpet, Trombone, Alto and Tenor with a final Clarinet solo flourish. This is Shaw's defining work for Solo Clarinet and big band, but be warned - you will need a very good Pianist and Clarinet player to carry this off. At nearly 4 and a half minutes this is only the half of it. The second part of this Concerto, itself almost 5 minutes long and even more challenging for the Clarinettist, will be coming soon. The whole piece is scored for Clarinet, 2 Altos, 2 Tenors, 8 Brass and 4 Rhythm. All solos are fully written out, though naturally your players can improvise if they wish. Swing @ 180 b.p.m. Ranges: Trumpets 1-4: E6, A5, G5, E5 Trombones 1-4: Bb4, C4, A3, F3.

Disc Jockey Jump by Gene Krupa. Arranged by Bob Martin. For big band. Swing. Medium Difficult. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1014).
This chart is very clever in its concept, as it is both big band and an 8-piece bebop all rolled into one. The front line is a quartet of Alto, Tenor, Trumpet and Trombone taking the unison melody line, with the rest of the blowers providing the backing support. All of the quartet have solos. This chart in a way reflects its time in history, with the shift from the big band format of the 1940's to much smaller outfits in the 1950?s. Disc Jockey jump is not a demanding piece to play, and also sounds well at reduced tempo. Another lovely transcription by Bob Martin.

Concerto For Clarinet, Part 2 by Artie Shaw. Arranged by Myles Collins. For big band. Swing. Advanced. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1015).
Here is Part 2 of Artie Shaw's stunning Concerto for Clarinet. The chart opens with four stylish Clarinet cadenzas, after which the drummer picks up the tempo with a floor-tom solo, joined by solo Clarinet for 40 measures. Briefly into 3/4 time for band chord stabs, the Clarinet & Drum solo continues. Another time shift for more stabs, then three tutti swing choruses to a false finish. The Clarinet soloist wraps things up with a further four cadenza passages. This is a very challenging work for solo clarinet, and will need a great player to pull it off. The saxes are scored for 2 Altos and 2 Tenors. The Clarinet range is up to super C. Trumpets 1-4 E6, C6, G5, E5 Trombones 1-4 Bb4, F4, D4, Bb3.

Hallelujah Time by Woody Herman. Arranged by Myles Collins. For big band. Swing. Difficult. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1016).
This is a great up-tempo swinger, written by Oscar Peterson and to our knowledge only ever performed by the Woody Herman bands. It starts with a solo hi-hat opening with offbeat tutti accompanying phrases, leading into the first chorus of saxes voiced in thirds, a brass middle 8, and re-statement of the sax theme. From then on it is a rip-roaring two saxophone (alto 2 and tenor 1) solo chase with occasional punchy brass figures backing the soloists. The solo space gets ever compacted, going from 16 to 8,4 and then 2 bar interchange sequences, until just when it feels that they will collide, the band is back with the opening chorus, into a frenzied Coda and finish. Brilliant. Needless to say, if you have a couple of sax players to show off, this is the vehicle.

Stealin' Apples by Benny Goodman. Arranged by Alan Glasscock. For big band. Swing. Advanced. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1017).
An absolutely storming chart from the Benny Goodman orchestra. Goodman made several takes of this tune, before deciding on which version to issue on record. The chart was rather lengthy in its original form, and had to be pared down in order to fit onto one side of a 78-rpm record. Alan Glasscock has reconstructed the chart with all of the intended choruses intact, as originally scored by Fletcher Henderson. Hence our arrangement differs a little from the mp3. All of the solos are written out (Piano - a full 32 bars, Trumpet and Clarinet) and the dynamics and articulations are meticulously accurate. The saxes are scored for Clarinet, 2 Altos, 2 Tenors and we have expanded the brass from the original 5 to a full section of 8. This chart is a work of art.Swing @ 170 b.p.m. Ranges: Trumpets 1-4: Eb6, C6, G5, F5 Trombones 1-4: C54, A4, F4, Eb4.

I Know Why by Glenn Miller. Arranged by Myles Collins. For big band. Swing. Medium. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1020).
This version of I Know Why is adapted from the vocal version and is from the film Sun Valley Serenade. It includes an additional instrumental chorus not found in the earlier Miller recorded version. A lovely ballad, this conversion from the SATB vocal is true to the original in its structure, and naturally features Miller-scored reeds. Lead alto is on clarinet throughout and baritone doubles alto.

Leave Us Leap by Gene Krupa. Arranged by Myles Collins. For big band. Swing. Medium. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1022).
Made popular by the Gene Krupa Orchestra, Leave Us Leap is a full-blooded up-tempo swing chart in which dynamics are everything. The first chorus is taken by the saxes, with punchy brass backing. Solos for trumpet, trombone, tenor and piano follow, with a cameo alto solo introducing a big shout chorus at the end. The drummer is then left to his own devices for a solo spot, which could last from a few seconds to several minutes. Some bands leave the stage at this point and let him get on with it! The shout chorus is repeated to end things off.

Let's Dance by Benny Goodman. Arranged by Bob Martin. For big band. Swing. Medium. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1024).
Benny Goodman's famous opening number has been faithfully re-created by Bob Martin and comes complete with the original Clarinet and Alto solos fully written out. This arrangement is scored for 8 brass, though we have included an optional 5th Trumpet part too. The saxes are scored for 2 Altos, 2 Tenors and the Clarinet lead. Let's Dance makes a great concert piece, but is even better when used to open a set or a dance.

Mission To Moscow by Glenn Miller. Arranged by Myles Collins. For big band. Swing. Advanced. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1026).
This song was written by Mel Powell when he was pianist with the Goodman orchestra, and it was a hit in 1942. Glenn Miller, whilst in charge of the US Army Air Force Training Command Band, used it as a vehicle for showing the Clarinet skills of Peanuts Hucko. It also fitted well into a series of numbers that were 'patriotic? and supported the war effort. Tunes such as Keep Ema!! Flying, Tail End Charlie and Jeep Jockey Jump. This is a great punchy swing chart, and you will need a good Clarinet player to do it justice. Lead Alto doubles Clarinet, Baritone doubles Alto.

No Name Jive by Glen Gray. Arranged by Myles Collins. For big band. Swing. Medium. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1032).
This is simply a great jump jive number, made famous by the Glen Gray Orchestra, and to the best of out knowledge has never been published before, anywhere. If your band plays to a dance crowd then this arrangement is an absolute must have. No Name Jive is a huge six and a half minutes long, and drives from beginning to end. Technically it's not difficult, though the band needs to be tight and crisp in order to achieve the relaxed feel that makes the number work so well. There are some instrument doubles. Saxes 1,2 and 3 all double Clarinet, and the Baritone doubles Alto. Lead Alto also needs a Soprano if your Alto 2 can't hit high F# anf A. All solos are written out as exact transcriptions of the original, though players may improvise if they wish. The second trumpet takes two solos and both are cross cued on the lead part. The score sample is the first 6 pages of a 35 page score, which we have ring-bound for ease of use.

Night Train by Buddy Morrow. Arranged by Dick Rhodes, Alan Glasscock. For big band. Swing. Medium. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1033).
Here is Buddy Morrow's thundering rendition of Night Train. What is unusual is the speed of the chart - a slowish 85 bpm - and as a result the arrangement has a solid, rumbling momentum that carries all before it. The melody and solo is taken by the lead (solo) Trombone. Alan Glasscock has scored the chart meticulously, so your band can capture the feel and get the phrasing absolutely right in order to recreate what is one of Morrow's finest performances. There are no sax doubles. Ranges: Trumpets 1-4: E6, Db6, Db6, Db6 Trombones 1-4: C5, Ab4, Eb4, C4.

Opus 1 (One) by The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra. Arranged by Myles Collins. For big band. Swing. Medium. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1034).
Another classic from the pen of Cy Oliver, and a famous tune for the Dorsey band, though much copied and adapted by other bands. Anita O'Day recorded a vocal version with Gene Krupa, and Ted Heath used it as a stock chart. This is as per the original, though lacks the strings used by Dorsey in the original arrangement. We can provide a string part on request. Both Alto saxes double Clarinet (for the great middle passage of Clarinets over a pair of muted Trumpets), and the lead Alto takes both Clarinet solos, which has been written out. Likewise, the Piano solo is written out too. This is a medium to advanced chart in terms of difficulty. By far the trickiest bit is the semiquaver, semitonal sax run which introduces the key change into the last chorus. Nimble fingers are needed. Trumpets 1-4: D6, D6, A5, F#5 Trombones 1-4: C5, A4, G4, E4.

Perfidia by Glenn Miller. Arranged by Myles Collins. For big band. Swing. Medium. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1035).
Originally entitled 'Tonight', Perfidia came into its own when given the Glenn Miller treatment, as a fabulous vocal showcase for the Modernaires. Our arrangement is true to the original, except that we give the vocal chorus to the trombone section as a feature. This chart has the correct Miller voiced saxes, the 'surprise' key change , the blend from brass to reed behind the cameo bass solo near the end, and all the written dynamics to help create the authentic sound.

Sing Sing Sing (Part 1) by Benny Goodman. Arranged by Myles Collins. For big band. Swing. Medium Difficult. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1041).
Possibly the most famous number from the Benny Goodman Orchestra, our recreation is true to the original, with the extra addition of a solo clarinet passage with drum backing just before the ff tutti last 16 bars. Goodman often had only 5 brass in his band, 3 trumpets and 2 trombones. This version is for 8 brass. The saxes are: Lead Clarinet, 2 Altos, 2 Tenors. A stunning opening number for featuring your drummer and clarinet player.

Skyliner by Charlie Barnet. Arranged by Myles Collins. For big band. Swing. Difficult. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1043).
Arguably the most famous number of the Charle Barnet Orchestra, Skyliner is a really punchy, up-tempo swinger, featuring a Piano intro, unison brass carrying the melodic line, with clarinet-led saxes over the top and later on a cracking Trombone soli. Both tenor sax parts are scored with the solo chords and the cameo trumpet solo can be taken by lead or second. The mp3 is complete. Ranges: Trumpets 1-4: C6, B5, Bb5, Bb5 Trombones 1-4: C5, Ab4, Ab4, Ab4.

Song Of The Volga Boatmen by Glenn Miller. Arranged by Myles Collins. For big band. Swing. Medium Difficult. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1046).
Written by Bill Finegan for the Glenn Miller Orchestra, this number is a great example of the arranger's art. He took a simplistic tune (Yo Ho Heave Ho) and turned it into a memorable piece, famous for its central passage of unison Trombones followed four bars later by unison Trumpets repeating the same phrase, both getting ever higher in their ranges, and leading to a huge tutti finish, embellished with a cameo written 'ad-lib? solo trumpet. A true reproduction of the original.

A String Of Pearls by Glenn Miller. Arranged by Myles Collins. For big band. Swing. Easy. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1050).
There are many bands using a 'stock' dance band arrangement originally written for 5 saxes and 5 brass, and possibly then adapted for a bigger band. The problem is that most arrangements are 'wrong' on a number of counts. This is the only faithful reproduction of the original and the saxes have been scored properly (AATTA) including the two tenor chase solo, voiced the brass correctly, written out the piano solo and fills and tidied up the wrong notes and chord progressions. All of the expressions and dynamics are in place and easy to read. This is a really good value for money chart and will give your band the authentic Miller sound when you play it. Baritone sax on alto throughout. Trumpet solo written for 2nd part, and cued on lead part. Second tenor portion of sax duet cued on 2nd alto part.

Every Tub by Count Basie. Arranged by Myles Collins. For big band. Swing. Medium. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1051).
Another flat-out swing chart from the earlier days of the Count Basie band. Every Tub is a quick swing chart featuring Tenor sax, Trumpet and Piano, with loads of visual possibilities too, as much of the Brass ensemble work uses plungers / fan hats. We have written out all of the original solos, though your players can improvise over the chords if they wish. This is another rare Basie chart, and forms part of our expanding Basie series. The brass ranges are moderate and there are no sax doubles. Swing @ 220 b.p.m. Ranges: Trumpets 1-4: G5 C6, G5, G5 Trombones 1-4: Bb4, G4, F4, D4.

Beaver Junction by Count Basie. Arranged by Count Basie. For big band. Swing. Medium. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1052).
Beaver Junction is another classic swing chart from the Basie band, and part of our continuing Basie re-creation project. Written by Harry Edison, this chart, whilst still being a punchy swing tune, shows the way for others such as Cute, as unison muted Trumpets take the melody. There are a couple of fine Sax soli pasages in this arrangement, a small cameo solo for Trumpet 2, and the Basie piano intro that became something of a hallmark. Not technically difficult, this chart requires precision and good section work to do it justice. Great for dancing or concert work. No sax doubles. Swing @ 160 b.p.m. Ranges: Trumpets 1-4: E6, C6, C6, C6 Trombones 1-4: A4, F4, C4, Bb3.
