L-O-V-E by Natalie Cole. Arranged by Myles Collins. For big band with female vocal. Swing. Medium. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LLM-2138).
This chart is an adaptation Natalie Cole's L-O-V-E (LOVE) (L is for the way you look at me...) which sticks very closely to her version. It is a medium to up-tempo swing chart, opening in the key of G with rhythm and vocal, the trombones then join, with a muted trumpet adding little fills, then onto a muted trumpet solo chorus backed by saxes and trombones. A quick modulation to Ab brings the vocal back in, with the whole band backing and the chart builds and builds to a rousing climax. Natalie's vocal line in the Ab section is her interpretation of the melody, and rises to F with a final high Ab flourish. If your vocalist chooses to stay with the original vocal line, she will only need to reach C, giving the chart a 1 octave vocal range. There are no sax doubles. Vocal key: G to Ab Female Vocal: C#4 - F5 (11 steps as written).

Oh Johnny, Oh Johnny, Oh by The Andrews Sisters. Arranged by Myles Collins. For big band with female vocal trio [SSA]. Swing. Medium Easy. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LLM-2008).
Oh Johnny! was another early hit for the Andrews Sisters and it has been reproduced here for you. The chart has been adapted by expanding it to full big band form, up from the smaller band which was used to back the sisters. Also, the chart has been written out in the key of C, rather than the key of B which some recordings imply. The reeds are scored CAATB, though an extra tenor part - a transposition of alto 2 - has been included, making the reeds CATTB, to give you flexibility in your sax section. The vocal parts are written in for SSA voices and are 'as sung' by the Andrews Sisters. This is a really bouncy number, and great fun to play. Vocal key: C Female Vocal SSA Trio.

Nightmare by Artie Shaw. Arranged by Myles Collins. For big band. Swing. Easy (Advanced Clarinet). Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LLM-1225).
Nightmare was Artie Shaw's theme song and is an out and out clarinet feature. Shaw's solo has been written out completely, but please be aware that it is very tricky to play. Also, an alternative clarinet solo part has been supplied with this chart which retains the essence of Shaw's intent but is much more straighforward to play, making the chart playable by all. The reeds are scored for solo clarinet and 5 saxes (AATTB), and to give you flexibility in the section an extra alto part - the Tenor 1 part transposed - has been included making the saxes AAATB. If you need to drop a sax part because you only have 5 in the section and one playing the solo lead, the alto 1 is the one to lose. Aside from the solo clarinet, all the other parts are easy.

Almost Like Being In Love by Natalie Cole. Arranged by Myles Collins. For big band with female vocal. Swing. Difficult. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-2233).
Transcribed from her 'Unforgettable' album, here is Natalie Cole's up tempo, hard swinging version of Almost Like Being In Love. This chart really kicks from start to finish, and is full of power and punch, though it is not that easy to get right. The band will need to be tight, and the trumpet section has some quick unison lines to get their fingers around. Precision is needed otherwise things can get messy. Ms Coles' vocal line is notated 'as sung,' including the little scat towards the end of the instrumental bridge, and the muted trumpet solo at the close has been written out. There are no sax doubles and the vocal key is F, modulating to Gb in the final chorus. Ranges: Trumpets 1-4: D6, D6, C6, G5 Trombones 1-4: A4, F4, F4, D4 Vocal key: F modulating to Gb Female Vocal Range: C4 - F5 (11 steps, as sung).

It Could Happen To You by Helen O'Connell. Arranged by Frankie Ortega, Myles Collins. For big band with female vocal. Swing. Medium. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-2179).
Here is another original Helen O'Connell chart as played by her on her many concert tours. The tune was written by Johnny Burke & Jimmy van Heusen for the Paramount film "And the Angels Sing". This arrangement is not a transcription, but a re-score of the original Frankie Ortega chart. To the best of our knowledge this chart was not commercially recorded, hence there is no audio sample. The chart opens colla voce, just voice and piano, joined in tempo (100) by the band for the first chorus. In typical O'Connell style, the chart picks up into swing (180) for the final chorus. The saxes are scored to double clarinets, although alternate parts on the reverse which eliminate the need to double have been provided. The vocal key is C throughout.

Don't Sit Under The Apple Tree With Anyone Else But Me by The Andrews Sisters. Arranged by Myles Collins. For big band with female vocal trio [SSA]. Swing. Medium. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-2136).
Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree was another of the Andrews Sisters big hits and sold very well, despite the success that the Glenn Miller band achieved with the same tune. The chart opens with a half tempo verse and picks up into fast swing for the first vocal chorus to the end of the piece. The origianl vocal lines have been written 'as-sung' by the Andrews Sisters, and adapted the band backings to bring it up to full big band sections. Lead Alto doubles Clarinet in the opening verse, and there are no other sax doubles. The vocal key is Eb.

Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen by The Andrews Sisters. Arranged by Myles Collins. For big band with female vocal solo or trio [SSA]. Swing. Easy. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-2135).
Here is the Andrews Sisters' version of Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen, and it is one of their most famous and popular songs. This chart includes the opening verse, with the clarinet solo fill-ins behind, and the solo vocal middle 8 also with the clarinet solo behind. The band backings have been adapted into a full big band line-up, from the smaller set-up used for their original recording. The vocal lines are written out as-sung, and the trumpet solo is written out in full too. Alto 1 is on clarinet throughout, with alto 2 and both tenors doubling clarinet up to the trumpet solo. The vocal key is F minor.

One of Sinatra's most enduring hits, the theme from New York, New York is also one of his most memorable, and will be immediately familiar to all audiences from the moment that the band kicks off the signature opening. Transcribed beautifully by Jon Harpin from the original Don Costa chart, this arrangement has all the elements - the slick key change, the shifts in tempo and Sinatra's vocal line in full - making this chart an absolute must-have tune. The Vocal keys are D to Eb and there are no sax doubles. Ranges: Trumpets 1-4: F6, Db6, B5, G5 Trombones 1-4: B4, G4, E4, C4 Vocal Key: D,Eb - Male Range A2 - F4 (12 steps).

Fly Me To The Moon by Frank Sinatra With Count Basie. Arranged by Quincy Jones, Jon Harpin. For big band with male vocal. Swing. Medium Easy. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-2084).
Transcribed by Jon Harpin from the original Quincy Jones arrangement featured on the Sinatra at the Sands album, Fly Me to the Moon is a classic Frank Sinatra chart, and a "must have" for any band's repertoire. A short piano & bass solo has been added as an intro to help your singer pitch the first note, and the brass has been augmented up to 8 voices. The solo flute passages are written on alto 2 and cued onto alto 1 and tenor 2 to give you some flexibility as to who takes the lines. The trumpet 2 solo fills have been written out, and to add even more authenticity to the performance the vocal sheet is written "as sung" by Sinatra. The lead trumpet range is up to high D, with the option to scream to high F#. Aside from the flute passages there are no other sax doubles. Vocal key: C Male Vocal G2 - G4 (2 octaves) "as performed".

Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy by The Andrews Sisters. Arranged by Alan Glasscock. For big band with female vocal trio [SSA or solo]. Swing. Medium. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-2077).
The Andrews Sisters produced a huge number of hits, and Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy is one of their finest. Alan Glasscock has scored a cracking version here, and has notated the Vocal Trio parts with exceptional skill. There were a couple of key verions of this song. One was the Decca release and the other done for the movie "Buck Pirates". The Decca chart used a small backing band, the move a full big band. Our version fuses the two and takes the best from both. Both of the Trumpet solos are fully written out (intro and in the middle section of the chart), and the Boogie Woogie piano / bass lines are all there. Although this is a Vocal Trio, we have also included a Solo Vocal part, should you wish to perform this chart with just one female vocalist. The Saxes are scored for Clarinet, 2 Altos and 2 Tenors throughout. Trumpets 1-4 B5, A5, E5, E5 Trombones 1-4 A4, F#4, E4, E4 Vocal key: D Vocal Trio 1, 2 & 3 1) A3-C#5 2) A3-D5 3) A3-B4.

Baby, It's Cold Outside by Margaret Whiting And Johnny Mercer. Arranged by Myles Collins. For big band with male/female vocal duet. Swing. Easy. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-2075).
Ours is the great Johnny Mercer & Margaret Whiting version of this classic vocal duet. He want's her to stay, she want's to play hard to get. The chart itself relies on the interplay and chemistry between your two vocalists. The band backings are easy and add just the right amount of punch when needed. In this arrangement the Saxes are all written to play Clarinets, but recognising that not all sax players double Clarinets we have double-sided all of the sax parts, so that one side is as written and the reverse side is scored for a regular sax section.This way you will have more flexibility. The brass ranges are moderate and the chart is very playable and makes a great vocal feature. Trumpets 1-4 C6, G5, F5, F5 Trombones 1-4 Ab4, F4, Eb4, Eb4 Vocals Female Ab3 - Bb4, Male Ab2 - Eb4.

Stuff Like That There by Bette Midler. Arranged by Billy May, Myles Collins. For big band with female vocal. Swing. Medium. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-2051).
Adapted from the original Billy May arrangement used in the Bette Midler film 'For The Boys' where she is performing in front of a hanger full of USAAF personnel during an air raid. Stuff Like That There is an up, bouncy vocal chart that really moves along. The short intro and lovely vocal and piano Colla Voce duet gives no clue to what is to come, until the vocalist picks up the tempo into the main swing boogie part of the chart. The secret to success with this number is to play it with a really relaxed feel, and it will really swing. The sound file here for you to download is the whole arrangement which we hope will be of great help to vocalists, to hear the feel and tempo changes. Vocal key: Ab/F Range: A3 - C5.

Luck Be A Lady by Frank Sinatra. Arranged by Billy May, Jon Harpin. For big band with male vocal. Swing. Medium Difficult. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-2025).
Adapted from the original Billy May arrangement of Sinatra's Reprise recording, Luck Be A Lady kicks off with the slow, almost Colla Voce intro, which picks up into a thumping swing chart. Jon Harpin has done a remarkable job in transcribing this Sinatra classic. Everything is here - dynamics, articulations, phrasing, modulations, the works. Strings were used in the original recording, which we have re-scored into the band, to make the chart suitable for a 5,4,4,4 line-up. At 5 minutes 15 seconds this is a long chart, and makes for a great vocal feature. Lead Alto doubles Clarinet. A must for all Sinatra fans. Trumpets 1-4: E6, C6, Bb5, Bb5 Trombones 1-4: B4, A4, F4, C#4 Vocal Keys: Db/D/Eb Male Vocal: Db3 - F4.

Come Fly With Me by Frank Sinatra With Count Basie. Arranged by Quincy Jones, Jon Harpin. For big band with male vocal. Swing. Difficult. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-2023).
This is Frank Sinatra at his best. This chart is a transcription of Sinatra with the Count Basie Band, taken from Sinatra at the Sands. It features the original band into - big, punchy and nearly a minute long - giving you time for a big introduction to your vocalist. The chart is also marked with an optional start point, just before the vocal, should you wish to shorten things. We have removed a couple of muted trumpet fills here and there, to keep things cleaner. There are some sax doubles. Altos go to Clarinets and Tenors to Flutes. These doubles add colour to the voicings though are not vital to the chart. So if your Tenor players are fluteless don't worry too much. The vocal is in Bb, with a range from Bb to D (one octave and 3 tones) and has been written out to give your vocalist a good feel of Sinatra's phrasing. All in all this chart is exceptional. Trumpets 1-4 G6, E6, C6, Ab5 Trombones 1-4 Bb4, G4, F4, Db4 Vocal Baritone Bb2 to D4 (one octave and 3 tones).

Orange Colored Sky by Natalie Cole. Arranged by Jon Harpin. For big band with female vocal. Swing. Medium. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-2005).
Orange Coloured Sky was covered well by Natalie Cole several years back, and our version sticks to the structure of this version, though in the key of F, making it more singer-friendly. It opens with an 8 bar band intro followed by the vocal chorus, with all of the expected powerful band hits behind the "Flash, Bam, Alakazam" vocal. A band interlude follows the chorus, with the vocalist returning for the middle 8 and final vocal half chorus. Jon Harpin has done a masterly job of arranging so that the band fully supports the vocalist, without overpowering at any time. His choice of harmony and instrumental voicing gives this chart a refreshing contemporary kick. Thearrangement is so new we do not yet have a recording to offer you, but rest assured that you can be confident that this chart oozes quality and is worthy of a place in any library. No sax doubles. Trumpets 1-4 D6, B5, B5, G5 Trombones 1-4 A4, F4, E4, C4 Vocal Key: F (Female Vocal F3-C5).

The Good Earth by Woody Herman. Arranged by Neal Hefti, Myles Collins. For big band. Swing. Advanced. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1203).
The Good Earth was written by Neal Hefti for the Woody Herman Orchestra and is a blistering swing chart. This transcription is taken from the 1963 Basin Street West studio session in Hollywood. The original chart was written for 5 Trumpets, 3 Trombones, Clarinet, 3 Tenors, Baritone and 4 Rhythm. We have adapted the chart to 4 Trumpets & 4 Trombones, and the 4th Trombone can be played by a Bass Trombone. The reeds stay "as recorded", though an extra alto part which can be substituted for the 2nd Tenor part, has been included, making the section CTATB. Herman's solo is written out, but the Tenor solo is improvised. This is quite a challenging chart to play and it needs energy and good musicianship to do it justice. However, it is really rewarding for band and audiences alike.

Scoot by Count Basie. Arranged by Neal Hefti/Myles Collins. For big band. Swing. Difficult. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1117).
A wonderful chart from the pen of Neal Hefti for the Basie Band of the late 1950's, along with such well known charts as Cute, Flight of the Foo Birds and many more. Scoot is almost all muted and fluted, originally with Frank Wess' flute paired with tightly plugged Trumpets (using a mix of mutes) to generate a relaxed but closely confined sound. The chart is quite quick and will need nimble fingers from your Trumpets, but once they get their fingers round it the chart will snap into place. The Flute solo is ad-lib, and the saxes are Flute, Alto, 2 Tenors & Bari. We have cued the Flute solo chords onto the Alto 2 part in case you don't have a Flautist. The chart is playable without the Flute lead, though it doesn't sound as good without it!. Swing @ 230 b.p.m. Ranges: Trumpets 1-4: Bb5, G5, G5, G5 Trombones 1-4: Bb4, Gb4, F4, F4.

Duet by Count Basie. Arranged by Neal Hefti, Jon Harpin. For big band. Swing. Medium. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1098).
Duet is one of the great tracks done for the Basie band by Neal Hefti, from The Atomic Mr Basie album. This is a wonderfully laid back chart featuring two of your Trumpet players. Hence the title of the piece. This is a transcription of the original Hefti arrangement, and includes fully transcribed Joe Newman and Thad Jones' solos, scored on Trumpet 2 and Trumpet 4, plus the Piano solo and fill-ins. We have rated it as easy / medium, but as with so many charts your band will need to be tight to do it justice. There are no sax doubles. Trumpets 1-4: C6, C6, F5, B5 Trombones 1-4: A4, Gb4, Db4, Bb3 4 mins 10 secs.

Little Brown Jug by Glenn Miller. Arranged by Myles Collins. For big band. Swing. Medium. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1074).
Little Brown Jug was an early classic for the Miller band, first recorded in 1939, with the original arrangement done by Bill Finegan. This is an accurate transcription of that version, complete with fully written out Tenor, Trumpet and Trombone solos. Many bands have a stock version of this chart in their libraries. The problem with it is that the solo's aren't scored, the trombone solo is missing entirely, and there are numerous other errors, such as incorrect voicings in the bridge, lack of backing behind the second half of the tenor solo and so on. If you wish to recreate the authentic sound of the Miller band, then this is the version for you. Baritone is on Alto throughout. It is the Sax voicing of AAATT that is the key to getting the right sound. The trumpet and Trombone solos are cross-cued onto the 1st and 2nd parts respectively. Ranges: Trumpets 1-4: Bb5,Bb5, Bb5, Bb5 Trombones 1-4: Bb4,Ab4,Ab4,Bb3.

This is the true Glenn Miller version, complete with written out trumpet solos for 2nd and 3rd trumpets. The solos are cross-cued to the 1st and 4th parts too, giving your other players the chance to play them too. The transcription is accurate, right down to the little cameo piano & drum solo breaks. All dynamics are clearly marked, so your band can achieve the authentic Miller sound. We've included a complete mp3 too and the the sample score is the first 3 pages out of 10. A straightforward chart to play. Tuxedo Junction sounds best if the band is relaxed and doesn't rush the tempo!

Trumpet Blues And Cantabile by Harry James. Arranged by Myles Collins. For big band. Swing. Difficult. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1063).
A rip-snorting swing chart from the Harry James book. Trumpet Blues opens with a short band fanfare in half time, and then breaks into a driving swing boogie. The middle half-time Cantabile provides the contrast, but breaks back into swing boogie for the last choruses. A feature for your trumpet section, but be warned that they will need a few minutes to recover afterwards. You will need a good Trumpet section to play this arrangement. It is in the original Key of Bb, and modulates to D for the end choruses. A genuine crowd pleaser. Swing @ 180 - 210 b.p.m. Ranges: Trumpets 1-4 E6, D#6, B5, G#5 Trombones 1-4 Bb4, G4, F#4, F#.

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.

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.

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.
