From the Mingus Big Band CD Live In Time this is one of the most creative charts in the band's book. Don't be fooled by the apparent normal sounds at the beginning as this multi-styled production number gets a little out of control later on!

This clever tune by George Gershwin has long been a favorite with jazz musicians. Mark's upbeat swing setting is a true showcase for the entire ensemble, with inventive tutti ensemble passages interspersed with brief solos for trumpet, tenor sax, trombone, and alto sax.

The haunting and distinctive Blackbird (from the Beatles' White album) is adapted here in a moderate samba style for the little big band format. Trumpet and alto sax are featured on the melody and for solos. / Partitions classique / Ensemble et orchestre / Ensemble vents / HAL LEONARD

Par HART BRUCE. This well-known television theme has long been a favorite with jazz artists. Mike Tomaro's moderate swing version features a nice blend of scoring between the saxes, brass, and full ensemble in an appealing arrangement. Solo space is provided for any player.
