By Miles Davis. By Miles Davis. Arranged by Jan Erik Paulsen. This edition: Interactive Download. Jazz. Score and parts. 98 pages. Duration 418. Jan Erik Paulsen #dridYor4hhatM4MmDeSkr. Published by Jan Erik Paulsen (A0.1118833).

Key: C major.

This is a relatively easy-to-play big band arrangement of an iconic tune by Miles Davis from the album Kind of blue. So What is the earliest and most excellent example of modal jazz, which is more based on scales than chords. The scales applied are D-Dorian and Eb-Dorian. This opens for the solo player to concentrate on the melodic direction rather than be guided by chords. Hence, the soloists in this arrangement should practice their improvisations in D-Dorian (Dm7) and Eb-Dorian (Ebm7). The arrangement would be useful for amateurs, student big bands and even professional big bands with a Miles Davis project on the repertoire.

Composed by Eddie Pola and George Wyle. Arranged by John Allison. Christmas,Jazz. 71 pages. John Allison #902406. Published by John Allison (A0.1313687).

Although this holiday favourite is usually heard as a waltz, this arrangement for Big Band is set in up-tempo 4/4 swing time. Written with amateur big bands in mind, there is enough to ensure experienced adult musicians have fun without being burdened by too many technical difficulties.
A high impact tutti introduction is followed by an understated exposition of the tune on the piano in the style of Count Basie. Muted trumpets are then accompanied by the trombones and sax. The short bridge is led by the saxophones before the trombones restate the theme. The middle section is open for solos with backing to be played second time only. After the solos we modulate from Bb to F for an invigorating shout chorus which maintains maximum energy through the brief coda.
Your audience will be especially happy to hear the piece around Christmas time, but it can be played as a lively feelgood tune at any time of the year.
