Having long since entered the pantheon of jazz standards, this version of Benny Golson's 'Stablemates' was arranged for trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie's 1956 State Department-sponsored big band. In many wa...

AS RECORDED BY NAT KING COLE ARRANGED BY BILLY MAY We're pleased to publish a fine Billy May arrangement done for Nat King Cole. 'When Your Lover Has Gone' comes from the 1957 May/Cole collaboration o...

Here is a transcription of the original (and best) Cute, as written by Neal Hefti for the Basie Band. It is not the 'standard' Hefti stock chart. The only change we have made is to score the chart for...

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...

Pick Yourself Up has been lovingly transcribed by Jon Harpin from the wonderful album 'Ella Swings Brightly With Nelson', and the chart shows off the best of both vocalist and arranger. The structure...

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 sco...
