Yaotones Music #829743. Published by Yaotones Music (A0.1234212). This hard swinging, up tempo arrangement is written in the style of the Count Basie Orchestra.  It starts out small with a Piano solo and builds throughout with additional solos in the Trumpet, Tenor Sax, and Trombone. The chart features simple unisons and 4-way closed textures and reads straight down easily with plenty of challenging ensemble passages throughout.  There's a lot of sectional writing and moments when the brass and woodwinds oppose one another.  After a temporary modulation to a new key for the Trombone solo, the piece returns to the original, customary key of Eb Major.  Following the solos, the chart climaxes on a big, tutti shout chorus exchange with the drums and a final big chord.  This arrangement works great at the end a set or concert program or even as an opener.Trumpet Range - Db6Trombone Range - A4The YT Link track is performed by NYC based big band John Yao and His 17-piece Instrument.To view other arrangements by John Yao, please visit Sheet Music Plus, Sheet Music Direct, or Ejazzlines.For more info or questions, please visit www.johnyao.com or email me at john@johnyao.com.  Follow me on Instagram, Facebook or subscribe to my You Tube Channel.

Transport your audience back to the psychedelic, hippiest Age of Aquarius with this Jazz Band original by Bob Marshall. Reminiscent of Woody Herman's The Herd, Don Ellis Big Band, Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Band and others, Marshall perfectly captures the style and drive of those bands in that era with The Dream Maker. After a rhythmic, full ensemble intro, the piece settles into a fluid melody featuring Flugelhorn (a la Chuck Mangione). The melody restates with a soli of 2 trumpets and 2 trombones before going into a driving soprano sax lead section soli. But wait, it's not over yet: the ensemble breaks down to just the rhythm section in unison. Adding sections one at a time the chart continues to build to a roaring climax before a D.S. that features a wailing tenor sax solo. Restating the melody once more and a big outro The Dream Maker ends the journey and all is well! Written for a standard 17-piece jazz ensemble: 5 saxes (Tenor 1 doubling Soprano Sax), 4 trumpets (2nd doubling Flugelhorn), 4 trombones, guitar (acoustic), electric bass, piano, drums. Key of Ab.

Published by Minus 500 Publishing (A0.971633). Concert Big Band Score. The arrangement captures the feel of this great Motown tune with those driving 16th note runs perfectly. There are no solo sections with the exception of a 4 bar drum solo fill. Instead, a three part counterpoint section involving the chorus melody and 2 re-occurring instrumental 16th note runs of the song serves as the climax. It is rather challenging, mainly for the brass instruments. Duration: 4' 09.

Trumpets in mutes and trombones playing the lead in unison recreate the overwhelming peace of the most famous of all nights. Counterpoint phrases by the saxes begin to build towards a dramatic climax that bursts forth into a screaming, brass-driven double-time swing. After room for a solo or two, the chart returns to its relaxed feel and ends as it began: quietly and at peace.
