'Wheels' is a neat little Cha-Cha dating from the early 1960's. Joe Loss and his Orchestra had minor chart success with their version of it. Our chart, whilst not a transcription, retains much of the...

Another rare chart from the Hefti days of the Basie band. This is NOT the Hefti stock chart that was issued many years ago. It is the complete Basie version, and a nice Trombone sectional feature. We...

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...

Here is our transcription of this great standard as performed by Frank Sinatra on his 1962 Reprise album 'Sinatra and Swingin' Brass'. Neal Hefti wrote the original arrangement and conducted the studi...

This vocal chart is based around Nina Simone's great version. This chart works well even if played by Vocal and Rhythm section only. The Piano part is mostly written out.

Another classic from the pen of Sy Oliver, and a famous tune for the Tommy Dorsey band, though much copied and adapted by other bands. Anita O'Day recorded a vocal version with Gene Krupa, and Ted Hea...
