Great Scott  811KB    download

Dedicated to Ronnie Scott, this is a tenor feature with open drum solo. Latin and swing feel. A very popular chart. To hear the whole thing (although it's a bad recording) click here.

Sherpa  671KB    download

An alto feature

Aftermath  537KB    download

I wrote this in disgust after the American assault on Fallujah. (The video has now been removed.)The chart needs a bit of rehearsal. Fairly difficult sequence for tenor and piano solos.

Dung Ho  827KB    download

The same arrangement as the one for the 7-piece band in the Small Band section. Long solos for bass, trumpet,trombone, tenor, alto and piano. The title, incidentally, is just my comment on the gung-ho military approach to problems. I hope it doesn't mean something terrible in Chinese!

Green again   835KB    download

The same arrangement as the one for the 7-piece band in the Small Band section in a higher key. Solos for trumpet, trombone, tenor, alto and piano.

Mr Mandela   708KB    download

The same arrangement as the one for the 7-piece band in the Small Band section. Solos for tenor and one or more of the trumpets. The piano part needs a bit of looking at. See it on youtube here

Chin chin   613KB    download

Italian musicians might like this one. Japanese musicians may choose to save any embarrassment by renaming it "Wedding Tackle". It could be used for workshops. Unison tune throughout, then solos by anyone with plenty of backing (which can be omitted if desired) so people shouldn't get bored.

Goodbye Trevor  739KB    download

This big band chart is dedicated to the memory of a good friend of mine, Trevor Kay. It features alto, trumpet and tenor solos. The piano part needs some looking at before playing.

Elma's Farm  523KB    download

A down-to-earth tune with a shuffle feel with solo for second alto, written for Elma who played with the SJO. There is an opportunity to make animal noises in the breaks! Listen to it on youtube here

Paddy Rag  503KB    download

This is just a bit of fun, with a liberal sprinkling of Irish tunes in it. It features the baritone and also has a mock Dixieland section. Listen to it on youtube here

An alto feature of a bossa nova. No solos and easy to play.

Best if played really slowly and bluesy. A not too difficult and very conventional chart. Solos for trumpet, trombone and bass. Here is a live performance of it.
