JE: My Way Frank Sinatra / Arr. Myles Collins

Here is the tune that Frank Sinatra called "the National Anthem", and it's a chart that is sure to bring the house down. Sinatra's classic version was very orchestral, and we have adapted it to suit a regular 5444 band line-up without losing the feel of the original, by re-scoring the string lines into the Saxes, with the 1st Alto doubling Flute, and the 2nd Alto doubling Clari ...

JE: Sing Sing Sing Louis Prima / Arr. Myles Collins

Sing Sing Sing - Benny Goodman. Possibly the most famous number from the Benny Goodman Orchestra, our recreation is true to the original, in the original key and with all of the original licks. The only concession that we have made is to augment the brass from 5 to 8. The saxes are scored for Clarinet, 2 Altos and 2 Tenors. This chart makes a stunning opening number, or a great ...

Reet Petite (Jackie Wilson Style) Jackie Wilson / Arr. Myles Collins

Reet Petite is great chart for a mixed audience dance gig. It's one of those songs that gets people up on the floor almost from the very first note. Our version follows the form and structure of the Jackie Wilson hit, though we have written it for full big band instrumentation. The brass lines are not demanding, with lead Trumpet only written to B, and lead Trombone to F. The v ...

JE: Winter Wonderland Ella Fitzgerald / Arr. Myles Collins

Winter Wonderland - Ella Fitzgerald. This chart has been transcribed and adapted from the Frank DeVol arrangement written for Ella's 1960 Verve album "Ella Wishes You a Swinging Christmas". We have removed much of the orchestral woodwind and have re-scored the chart to suit a standard 5444 line-up. Alto 1 is written to double on Flute. However, the reed parts are printed double ...

JE: Skyliner Charlie Barnet / Arr. Myles Collins

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. Much requested, ...

Description: Big Spender : Peggy Lee vocal big band chart. Big Spender was written by Cy Coleman & Dorothy Fields for the 1966 musical "Sweet Charity". Peggy Lee's version was the original "pop" version of the tune and set the standard that other artists, such as Shirley Bassey, would follow.

Big Band: When the Saints Traditional / Arr. Myles Collins

Many big bands have recorded versions of The Saints, yet this one really stands out from the crowd. Whilst not strictly a BG chart, as it was recorded by members of the Goodman Orchestra, it contains some fine ensemble writing, a flowing Clarinet solo in BG style, and solos for Piano and Tenor too. The whole chart swings like crazy from start to finish. All of the solos are wri ...

JE: American Patrol Frank White Meacham / Arr. Myles Collins

American Patrol? - but everybody's got that in their library. Well, yes and no. 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 it's 'wrong' on a number of counts, not least of which is that the correct key is Bb. The stock was in Ab and made many sectional p ...

JE: Chattanooga Choo Choo Glenn Miller / Arr. Myles Collins

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 we have modified the chart 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, ...
