Harry James recorded a couple of versions of this tune, first in 1941 and again in 1955. Ours is from the later version which we feel packs more punch. The chart is at heart a Trumpet sectional featur...

In 1941 Skippy Martin took the 24th of Niccolo Paganini's variations for solo violin, and turned it into a big swinging chart for the Benny Goodman Orchestra. We have adapted and expanded the chart, s...

Frankie & Johnny is a lovely solo feature for Clarinet, Tenor and Trumpet. This particular version is as played by members of the Goodman orchestra and it bounces from start to finish. The opening cho...

Magic is an absolute cracker of a swing chart, written by Frank Wess. It is essentially a blues, but a blues with a lot of bite, featuring solo solo space for Piano, Tenor and Trombone. Aside from the...
