Softly, As In A Morning Sunrise by Artie Shaw. Arranged by Myles Collins. For big band. Swing. Medium. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1136).
One of Artie Shaw's most endearing charts, Softly as a Morning Sunrise was scored as a mid-tempo swing chart for the Shaw band by Jerry Gray, later of Miller fame. We have transcibed the chart and scored it for a full band line-up of 5 reeds & 8 brass. The Saxes are written for Solo Clarinet, 2 Altos and 2 Tenors. The 2nd Tenor takes the solo (written out) and Shaw's solos are also notated in full. Alto 1 and Tenor 1 double Clarinets, and there is an optional Clarinet double on the Alto 2 part. The Trombone solo, also written, is on the 1st part. A good concert piece or equally suitable for dancing, Morning Sunrise will make a fine addition to any library. The brass ranges are moderate and the only tricky bit is the final Clarinet run-up which goes to a high A. Swing @ 155 b.p.m. Ranges: Trumpets 1-4: B5, G5, F#5, D#5 Trombones 1-4: B4, G4, D#4, C4.

Basie Boogie by Count Basie. Arranged by Myles Collins. For big band. Swing. Medium. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1137).
Basie Boogie is, as its name might suggest, an up-tempo piano feature that swings from top to toe. Like many of Basie's charts, the arrangement evolved over time, but this version is from the original recording. We have written out the Piano part in full to include the licks and fills and the boogie-woogie left hand patterns, though your player can improvise from the chords if needs be. The band parts are not demanding, and fairly sparse, leaving the Pianist all the space needed to do his thing. A rare chart and a real gem. There are no sax doubles. Trumpets 1-4: D6, A5, A5, A5 Trombones 1-4: G4, G4, G4, G4.

Red Bank Boogie by Count Basie. Arranged by Myles Collins. For big band. Swing. Difficult. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1139).
Red Bank Boogie is a classic Basie piano feature, and we have written out the Piano part in full. This chart evolved over time, as many of CB's charts did. The original was possibly a little stilted, even a little corny perhaps, with the piano line being played in typical stride style. This later version was played by CB using far fewer notes, with less emphasis on the left hand, and we think it swings all the better for it. However, it is a quick chart and you will still need a pretty good pianist to do it justice. There are no sax doubles. Ranges: Trumpets 1-4: D6, B6, G5, G5 Trombones 1-4: G4, E4, C4, Bb3.

At Sundown by Artie Shaw. Arranged by Myles Collins. For big band. Swing. Difficult. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1140).
This is Artie Shaw's 1939 version of At Sundown, from the time when his first band was arguably its the height. Apart from the Clarinet solo, the chart is not too hard, and swings freely with good solid bounce. The arrangement has been adapted from the original 3 Trumpet 3 trombone line-up, to a regular 4 4 brass section, and the Reeds are scored for Clarinet, 2 Altos and 2 Tenors. We have written out Shaw's Clarinet solo in full, along with the Tenor and Trumpet solos, but have left the Piano solo as an improvisation. All the soloists have the chords on their parts should they wish to do their own thing. This is a fun chart, quite quick but a full four minutes long. There are no Sax doubles. Ranges: Trumpets 1-4: D6, C6, Bb5, Eb Trombones 1-4: Bb4, Ab4, Ab4, C4.

Clarinet A La King by Benny Goodman. Arranged by Myles Collins. For big band. Swing. Advanced. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1141).
A fabulous chart from the Goodman band of the early 1940's, written by Eddie Sauter, and, quite naturally, a Clarinet feature. The chart is harmonically very innovative, and shows glimpses of the sort of writing that Eddie Sauter produced later on in collaboration with Bill Finegan. This is quite a hard chart to play, but very rewarding once your players have it right, and a fine addition to the Goodman corner of your band library. The Clarinet and Piano solos are written out in full, and all dynamics and articulations have been included on all the parts, because this is one chart that simply won't work if played at the same volume throughout! We have augmented the Brass to 4 + 4 and the reeds are scored C/A/T/T/B. There are a couple of quick sax doubles - Baritone on Alto and 2nd Alto on on Clarinet. Ranges: Trumpets 1-4: D6, Bb5, G5, F5 Trombones 1-4: A4, F#4, Eb4, C4.

Roll 'Em by Benny Goodman. Arranged by Alan Glasscock. For big band. Swing. Medium. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1142).
Roll 'Em was a hugely popular number for the Goodman band, and its infectious boogie feel will have dancers flocking to the the floor. Our version is true to the Goodman original, with a couple of modifiactions. The brass has been augmented up to 8 and the piano solo passage has been written in conventional 12-bar form, rather than a mix of 12 and 10 found in the origianal. Whilst the Piano solo is ad-lib, the other solos (Clarinet & Trumpet) are fully written out, though your players can improvise from the chords provided if they prefer. Alan Glasscock has done a teriffic job with this chart, and the articulations and phrasing marks on the parts will enable your players to produce an authentic sound. The reeds are written for Clarinet, 2 Altos & 2 Tenors, with no sax doubles. Trumpets 1-4: D6, Bb5, Bb5, Bb5 Trombones 1-4: A4, Ab4, Ab4, Ab4.

Traffic Jam by Artie Shaw. Arranged by Myles Collins. For big band. Swing. Medium. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1146).
Artie Shaw had many great swing charts to his name, but few were as punchy and as powerful as Traffic Jam. It fairly rips along at a quick 240 beats a minute, yet it never sounds forced or rushed. We have transcribed the original, including all the solos (Drums, Clarinet, Tenor, Trombone & Piano), and expanded the chart to a full 8 brass. The Saxes are scored for Clarinet, 2 Altos and 2 Tenors. The chart kicks off with a 4 bar Drum solo leading into a rising chromatic dimished passage, then the main chorus with the Clarinet flying over the top of the band. A quick Tenor solo follows, then back to the band blasting away. There is then a wonderful bell-tone bridge leading to alternating Clarinet and Trombone solos over just Bass and Kit, more band choruses, a Piano solo and a couple of huge shout choruses to end. We have rated the chart as Medium. The band parts are not hard, despite the speed of the chart. It's only Mr. Shaw's bits that need nimble fingers, though your Clarinet player can always improvise over the chords instead. This is a real beauty of a chart, and a must-have in any book. Swing @ 240 - 250 b.p.m. Ranges: Trumpets 1-4: C6, C6, F5, F5 Trombones 1-4: C5, Eb4, Eb4, Eb4.

Glen Island Special 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-1147).
Glen Island Special is a very quick swing chart written by Eddie Durham for the Glenn Miller band, and on first hearing it you could be forgiven for thinking it to be a Basie chart. At 240 beats per minute this chart rips from start to finish. It features ad-lib solos for 2nd Trumpet and 1st Tenor and has plenty of visual appeal too, with much plunger / hat work in the Brass. The Saxes are scored for 3 Altos and 2 Tenors, with no doubles. The Trumpet ranges are very moderate, with lead only reaching a G. The Sax parts do require very nimble fingers, and we have graded the chart as Medium Advanced purely because of this. If you play to a dance crowd the dancers will need a rest afterwards! Swing @ 240 b.p.m. Ranges: Trumpets 1-4: G5, E5, D5, B4 Trombones 1-4: A4, F4, F4, F4.

Jam Session by Benny Goodman. Arranged by Myles Collins. For big band. Swing. Medium. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1148).
Written by Jimmy Mundy for the Benny Goodman Orchestra shortly after he joined BG as a staff arranger, Jam Session is an up-tempo swing chart with solo space for Tenor, Clarinet and Trumpet. The arrangement starts in two beat style for the first chorus, and then switches to four beat swing to the end of the piece. This chart has been adapted to 8 brass from the original 5, and because it is not a Clarinet feature the Saxes have been scored AAATT, with the 2nd Alto taking the Clarinet solo. All solos are fully transcribed, though your players can improvise from the chords provided. Ranges: Trumpets 1-4: Bb5, Bb5, G5, Eb5 Trombones 1-4: Bb4, Ab4, Ab4, Ab4.

Johnson Rag by Glenn Miller. Arranged by Myles Collins. For big band. Swing. Medium. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1150).
Here is Glenn Miller's version of Johnson Rag, transcribed from the original Bill Finegan chart with all of the solos (both Tenors, Trombone 1 and Trumpet 2) written out. This tune features many of Miller's trademarks, such as the steady build and overlayering of sections to increase the depth of sound and to establish the tune firmly in the mind, plenty of Trumpet plunger figures, sudden changes of dynamics and rich ensemble scoring. The brass ranges are generally moderate, though the Trombone solo does hit a high Db. We have scored this solo onto the 4th Trumpet part, should your player not feel comfortable with the range. There are no Sax doubles. Swing @ 155 b.p.m. Ranges: Trumpets 1-4: C6, C6, G5, E5 Trombones 1-4: Db5, Ab4, D4, B3.

Back Bay Shuffle by Artie Shaw. Arranged by Myles Collins. For big band. Swing. Medium. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1151).
Back Bay Shuffle is a jump tempo swing chart from the great Artie Shaw orchestra, perfect for dancing. We have transcribed this chart as per the original, though expanding it to 8 brass in the process. All solos (Clarinet, Trumpet, Trombone, Tenor & Piano) are writen out in full, as are the correct drum patterns. The reeds are scored for Solo Clarinet, 2 Altos & 2 Tenors. Everything is here - correct sax voicings, dynamic markings & phrasing indications so that your band can recreate that punchy Shaw sound. Swing @ 190 b.p.m. Ranges: Trumpets 1-4: Eb6, Bb5, G5, E5 Trombones 1-4: B4, G4, E4, C4.

Frenesi by Artie Shaw. Arranged by Myles Collins. For big band. Swing. Medium. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1152).
Frenesi was a tune popularised and played by many of the well known bands of the late 30's and early 40's. Our version is an adaptation of the Artie Shaw version, but re-scored for a regular big band line-up, as Shaw's chart made heavy use of strings, and had an orchestral flavour to it. We have kept the structure of the original, and have transcribed all of the solos (Clarinet, Tenor, Trumpet & Piano). The re-voicing of the chart means that the saxes (written C, A, T, T,B) have plenty of instrument doubles. The Alto doubles Clarinet & Flute, both Tenors double Clarinet and the Bari doubles Alto. The chart also floats between Swing and Rumba feels, so your players will need to be alert!

Christopher Columbus by Benny Goodman. Arranged by Myles Collins. For big band. Swing. Medium Easy. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1154).
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 because the tune was Henderson's theme. The Goodman original has been adapted here to suit an 8 brass line-up, and have transcribed all of the original solos (Clarinet, Trombone & Trumpet), though your players can improvise on the chords if they wish. The brass ranges are fairly moderate, making the chart playable by bands of all abilities. The saxes are scored for Clarinet, 2 Altos & 2 Tenors. Ranges: Trumpets 1-4: C6, C6, G5, G5 Trombones 1-4: C5, F4, B3, Bb3.

Stompin' At The Savoy by Benny Goodman. Arranged by Myles Collins. For big band. Swing. Medium Easy. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1155).
Here is Benny Goodman's timeless classic in all its glory. Many bands performed versions of this song, but the Goodman Orchestra's rendition remains the standard by which all others are judged. The saxes are scored for Clarinet, 2 Altos & 2 Tenors. We have augmented the Brass up to a full 8 from the original 5. All of the original solos (Clarinet, Tenor & Trombone) are fully transcribed, though your players can improvise from the chords is they prefer. The piano part is written on 4 beat style and the drum part is notated as per the original, though your might prefer to have him play a more swingy hi-hat style if you wish to push the feel a little. Swing @ 150 b.p.m. Ranges: Trumpets 1-4: B5, G#5, E5, D4 Trombones 1-4: C5, F#4, D4, B3.

September Song by Harry James. Arranged by Myles Collins. For big band. Swing. Medium Difficult. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1156).
Here is a really unusual arrangement of this jazz standard from the Harry James Orchestra. Slow, bluesy and laid back, the chart opens with the Bari and Bass in unison, with tightly muted Trumpets over, then the Saxes layer in with a smooth contrapuntal line, then the unison Trombones pick up the melody over the same underlying Bari/Bass figures. There follows a truly inventive bridge, a tutti chorus in swing time and then Harry's soaring solo which we have written out in full. Nimble fingers needed. Then everything calms down and returns to the opening theme ot the end. There are no Sax doubles. Swing @ 115 b.p.m. Ranges: Trumpets 1-4: D6, D6, G5, G5 Trombones 1-4: C5, G4, G4, G4.

Lincolnshire Poacher by Ted Heath. Arranged by Jon Harpin. For big band. Swing. Medium. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1157).
The Lincolnshire Poacher is a traditional English song, given the full swing treatment by the Ted Heath band. This chart is up, bouncy and always a crowd pleaser. The chart itself is very straight ahead, though the lead Trombone does go up to high C briefly. There is a solo spot for Tenor sax (chords also cued on the Tenor 2 part), and there are no sax doubles. Ranges: Trumpets 1-4: C6, A5, F5, E5 Trombones 1-4: C5, A4, G4, E4.

Perdido by Duke Ellington. Arranged by Klauss Lessmann. For big band. Swing. Easy. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1158).
Perdido was one of Duke Ellington's early big hits. Many arrangements have been made of this chart over the years - lots of them at a flat out tempo. The Duke's version is a very laid-back swinger that chugs along in a steady groove. The chart opens with a cameo Piano solo, the Bari Sax picks up the tune and improvises on the repeat, with the brass plunger figures pulsing away behind it. The middle 8 is taken as a Trumpet solo (written out) and on it goes! This chart is a solo feature for Tenor 2 and Trumpet, as both have improvised solos, and there is a lovely example in the last chorus of the sort of instrumental voicings for which the Ellington band was later so famous. Tenor 1 doubles Clarinet and there are no other sax doubles. Another excellent arrangement by Klauss Lessmann. Swing @ 132 b.p.m. Ranges: Trumpets 1-4: G5, C6, E5, B4 Trombones 1-4: G4, F4, D4, Bb3.

Woodchopper's Ball by Woody Herman. Arranged by Myles Collins. For big band. Swing. Medium Easy. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1160).
Here is the great Woodchoppers Ball. Co-written and first performed by Woody Herman, this chart became a mainstay in the repertoire of all Herman's bands. Our version is based on Woody's, though rescored for regualar sections (Saxes AATTB, 8 brass). This arrangement features solo space for Clarinet (on 1st Alto part), Tenor, Trumpet and Trombone, and has that characteristic chromatic set of key changes at the end that gives the whole chart a thumping climax. A superb swing chart. Ranges: Trumpets 1-4: A5, F5, D5, C5 Trombones 1-4: Bb4, Bb4, Bb4, Bb4.

Non Stop Flight by Artie Shaw. Arranged by Myles Collins. For big band. Swing. Medium. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1161).
Non Stop Flight is a really bouncy swing chart and is perfect for dancing to. The pulse is infectious and will really get the feet tapping. Written by Artie Shaw, it naturally features the Clarinet, and also Tenor Sax. We have written out all of the solos, including the solo licks and fills, plus the obligato Clarinet solo that floats over the rest of the band in the last chorus. Your Clarinet player will need to be dextrous, as some pretty nimble fingerwork will be needed. The brass ranges are moderate, and it's not a tough blow for them. The Saxes ae scored for Solo Clarinet, 2 Altos and 2 Tenors. We have expanded the original 6 brass up to 8 too. If you are looking for a good dance chart, or a stunning concert piece, you've just found it! Swing @ 200 b.p.m. Ranges: Trumpets 1-4: C6, Ab5, Ab5, Ab5 Trombones 1-4: Bb4, G4, Gb4, Gb4.

Struttin' With Some Barbecue by Harry James. Arranged by John Ferguson. For big band. Swing. Medium. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1162).
This tune was written by Louis Armstrong and used by him as his theme tune for a number of years. This version is from the Harry James book, and is not only a great Trumpet feature, but a really rare chart too. It has a lilting two-beat feel that swings like crazy from start to finish. The 1st Trumpet has the solo lead, the solo is written out in full and there is a ripping Sax soli where your players need to stand up and show themselves off a bit. There are no sax doubles. A fabulous transcription from Australian legend John Ferguson.

Autumn Leaves by Ted Heath. Arranged by Myles Collins. For big band. Swing. Medium. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1168).
A superb example of ensemble playing from the Ted Heath book. This version is not written as a slow ballad, but is a grooving mid-tempo swing chart that packs plenty of punch. The chart relies on some tight section work from the Brass, and strict adherance to the written dynamics in order to deliver the right feel. At just over 2 minutes it is not a long chart, but it is certainly a memorable one. There are no Sax doubles, and apart from Trumpets 1 and 2 having to reach high E the brass ranges are not too challenging. Ranges: Trumpets 1-4: E6, E6, G5, Eb5 Trombones 1-4: B4, Ab4, F4, D4.

Trumpet Boogie by Ray Anthony. Arranged by John Ferguson. For big band. Swing. Difficult. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1169).
Ray Anthony used this chart in much the same way as Harry James used Trumpet Blues - as a rousing sectional feature. It storms from start to end, and plays just as well at a slightly reduced tempo too. The arrangement also features improvised solos from Tenor and Trumpet, a cameo Piano solo in the intro, and some thundering sectional interplay. A great transcription from John Ferguson. Saxes are scored for a regular section and there are no sax doubles. The audio picks up into letter A. Ranges: Trumpets 1-4: Eb6, Db6, Db6, Bb5 Trombones 1-4: Ab4, Ab4, Ab4, Ab4.

12th Street Rag by Ted Heath. Arranged by Myles Collins. For big band. Swing. Advanced. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1170).
12th Street Rag as you never imagined! This chart was written for the Ted Heath band, and goes way way beyond the original Bowman concept. The chart opens by imitating traffic along 12th Street, in a series of dissonant hoots and parps, before the band kicks in with the real intro. The chart is full of contrasting elements and tonal colour, and uses a dixie band-in-band on three occasions, each section being in a different historical jazz style - 20's, 40's and 60's. Interspersed whith these are some blasting tutti passages, some deliberately corny solo work in street busker style and a screaming finale. The whole piece goes through 5 modulations, building all the time. This is a very challenging chart with some tough asks in all sections. Also both Altos and Tenors double Clarinet, and the Bari doubles Alto for his solo (which can be played on Bari instead). If your band is brave enough to take on the challenge they will not be disappointed.

One of the all-time classic charts from the Benny Goodman book, and a must for all Goodman fans. We have modified the arrangement to suit 8 brass, and have written out the original Clarinet, Trumpet & Trombone solos in full, as well as including an optional Trumpet soli instead of just the Trumpet solo, should you want to show off the section a bit. Reeds are scored for Clarinet, 2 Altos and 2 Tenors, and there are no sax doubles. Ranges: Trumpets 1-4: Bb5, Bb5, Bb5, D5 Trombones 1-4: Ab4, Ab4, D4, D4.
