Artie Shaw had many great swing charts to his name, but few were as punchy and as powerful as Traffic Jam. It fairly rips along at a quick 240 beats a minute, yet it never sounds forced or rushed. We...

Here is Benny Goodman's 1947 hard swinging version of Fred Fisher's enduring classic. (Please don't confuse it with the earlier, and more predictable, 1934 Henderson chart). This later version, whilst...

Mel Powell wrote this piece for Benny Goodman, and in some ways it points the way for Mel Powell's later switch from jazz to classical music. The chart is full of rich, flowing texture and has a super...

Here is our take on Doris Day's charming vocal chart for the Les Brown Orchestra, not to be confused with her 1955 show version with Percy Faith. The chart opens with an instrumental half-chorus, modu...

Adapted from Ella Fitzgerald's Cole Porter Songbook recording, this chart is laid back, relaxed and easy to play. It would make a good 'change-of-pace chart' for a concert setting or live gig. The arr...
