Brass Quintet Horn,Trombone,Trumpet,Tuba - Digital Download SKU: A0.1466152 By The Buckinghams. By Joe Zawinul. Arranged by Will Corbin. Jazz,R & B. 20 pages. Will Corbin #1044744. Published by Will Corbin (A0.1466152). Here's a treatment of the Buddy Rich Band's arrangement of Mercy Mercy Mercy, significantly tamed for range and skipping the improv solos (feel free to plug something in for a player with that skill). This one works for musicians of more modest talents. It does regrettably include (true to the Rich version) the Florida State University tomahawk chop tune; I'm a University of Florida Gator, so that part is painful.If you need other instrumentation, please contact me at wilcor@aol.com.

Brass Quintet Horn,Trombone,Trumpet,Tuba - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1465664 Composed by Antonio Carlos Jobim. Arranged by Will Corbin. Jazz,Latin. 12 pages. Will Corbin #1044276. Published by Will Corbin (A0.1465664). Here's an adaptation one of roughly 500 different recorded covers of this Antonio Carlos Jobim bossa/jazz classic. It's built on John LaBarbera's down-tempo ballad version for the Buddy Rich big band. Trombonists know this one for two features: a gorgeous but challenging bass 'bone solo, and a tricky but gorgeous 'bone section soli. I've plugged the tuba in for part of the bass 'bone solo (it would take a superhuman tuba player to manage all of it) and preserve the soli in quintet form.If you need other instrumentation, please contact me at wilcor@aol.com.

Brass Quintet Horn,Trombone,Trumpet,Tuba - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1459167 Composed by Bill Danzeisen. Arranged by Will Corbin. Broadway,Latin,Musical/Show,Pop. 24 pages. Will Corbin #1038137. Published by Will Corbin (A0.1459167). A song doesn't get more traveled than this one. American Cole Porter wrote it in 1935 while on a South Pacific cruise between Indonesia and Fiji aboard a British liner. Its roots are in a Latin dance from the French Caribbean islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique. So it's somewhere between a minuet and a samba. The name of the dance, beguine, is Creole (probably pejorative) for white woman. The song was first performed in a Broadway musical called Jubilee. It didn't get much traction until Artie Shaw recorded it with his big band, in a purely swing mode, in 1938; it became the 3rd best-selling recording of the year and set off a new dance craze. Check out the drummer in the YouTube video of Shaw's band performing the song, with special attention to the drummer. It's a young and relatively quite subdued Buddy Rich. This arrangement, for two trumpets, horn, trombone and tuba, sticks pretty close to a Latin feel except for a swing break in the middle.If you need alternative instrumentation, I'm happy to help.
