The 5:01 closer, John Lennon’s Imagine will bring a warm tear to your eye and remind you of the strong emotions Louis Armstrong was able to stir in all our hearts… this performance should (definitely) be nominated for (and WIN) awards… if I were on the judging panel, it certainly would get top honors. (Dick Metcalf, Contemporary Fusion Reviews)

Rising billboard recording artist John Redmon and legendary producer/arranger Thomas Dawson, Jr. lyrically and musically provoke a series of emotions and thought of a world free from barriers...a euphoric universe aligned in perfect harmony and sweet unity. Redmon states: I long for the day when differences don’t divide us.

This piano/vocal arrangement by Dawson takes this basic Lennon chord structure and transforms it into an orchestral masterpiece. 

This version of Imagine would be fitting as a global anthem, a cosmic salute, concerts, festivals, graduation ceremonies and liberty festivals. 

Imagine appears on the album Honoring Louis Armstrong featuring Louis Armstrong Impressionist John Redmon and accompanied by The Thomas J. Dawson, Jr. iOrchestra.

The recorded version is just a little over 5 minutes.

John’s arrangement and performance on Just a Closer Walk with Thee (Medley) is accompanied by the Fresh Start Baptist Church male chorus, and what they bring to you is the SPIRIT’S glory! (Dick Metcalf, Contemporary Fusion Reviews)

Just a Closer Walk With Thee (Medley) is positioned to be a timeless classic that skillfully intertwines two beloved hymns: Just a Closer Walk With Thee and What a Friend We Have in Jesus.

This piano/vocal arrangement as the original recording adds an additional voice (as in duet form) creating a partnering dynamic in this prayer, this plea. Tune starts in Ab then seamlessly transitions into Db to introduce the church-staple What a Friend We Have In Jesus.

Just a Closer Walk With Thee (Medley) appears on the album Honoring Louis Armstrong featuring Louis Armstrong Impressionist John Redmon and accompanied by The Thomas J. Dawson, Jr. iOrchestra.

This version of Just a Closer Walk With Thee (Medley) is great for any traditional church service, funerals and sacred events.

The recorded version is just a little over 4 minutes but your spirit will be elevated to a higher plane by the time the last key is released.

Brass Quintet Baritone Horn TC,Trombone,Trumpet,Tuba - Level 3 - Digital Download

SKU: A0.1273084

By Keith Terrett. By Duke Ellington/Barney Bigard. Arranged by Keith Terrett. 20th Century,Jazz,Standards. 11 pages. Keith Terrett #865274. Published by Keith Terrett (A0.1273084).

An arrangement of C Jam Blues for Brass Quintet. The extra parts are not necessary, but are provided if you have extra players such as a Bb Piccolo Trumpet & Bb Trombone/Euphonium in TC.

New Orleans-born clarinetist Barney Bigard is likely the originator of this tune, a simple blues riff in the key of C. Since Bigard was a veteran member of Duke Ellington’s Orchestra in 1941, Duke had a slice of the pie, too, and undoubtedly arranged the piece for the orchestra. Yet Duke referred to the number somewhat disparagingly as “one of our more or less trite things.�

The number was introduced in a Soundie short film. These three-minute features, produced to be shown on a jukebox-type player, illustrated the band miming to a pre-recorded performance. Entitled “Jam Session� the Soundie was filmed late in 1941 along with four other Ellington numbers. Duke introduces various band members, who then solo: Ray Nance (violin), Ben Webster (tenor sax), Rex Stewart (cornet), Joe “Tricky Sam� Nanton (trombone), and Sonny Greer (drums). The complete ensemble carries the tune to its finish with composer Bigard (clarinet) providing some improvised upper register piping.

“C Jam Blues� was formally recorded under that title in January, 1942, for RCA Victor Records. It continued be a staple of the Ellington repertoire, generally featuring a handful of the soloists in the band.

Co-composer Barney Bigard left Duke’s band in June 1942, and after a period of freelancing joined Louis Armstrong’s All-Stars in August, 1947. “C Jam Blues� was one of his nightly features with Satch’s ensemble along with “Tea for Two.� Despite playing the tune hundreds, or perhaps even thousands of times during his tenure with Ellington and Armstrong, he continued to perform it during his freelance years in the 1950s until shortly before his death in 1980.

In the late-1950s very simple words were added (“Baby, let’s go down to ‘Duke’s Place’,� etc.) which strangely took a three-member team of writers to assemble: songwriters William Katz and Ruth Roberts and record producer Bob Thiele. Clarinetist Barney Bigard was not included in the composer credits of the song version, although he was a member of Louis Armstrong’s All-Stars when they recorded “Duke’s Place,� featuring Louis on the vocal, with Ellington in 1961.

The piece typically features several improvised solos. The final solo continues in the upper register as the entire ensemble comes in and the music grows to a climax. The melody likely originated from the clarinetist Barney Bigard in 1941, but its origin is not perfectly clear.

It was also known as Duke’s Place, with lyrics added by Bill Katts, Bob Thiele and Ruth Roberts Western Swing band leader Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys recorded the song sometime between mid-1945 through 1947 as part of the Tiffany Transcriptions.

The 10-note occasional riff formed the basis of the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band’s novelty song Intro Outro.

Part of the series A Pulchritudinous Posy of Pleasing Party-Pieces

A few fancies for five-part natural trumpet ensemble* with optional timpani.
 
At last: Some new repertoire for the historical natural trumpet!

This one-handed instrument was familiar to composers such as JS Bach, Handel, Telemann, Purcell, Vivaldi etc., but was largely neglected after the invention of valves in the early 19th century - and the subsequent invention of the nodal vent-hole systems in the late 20th-century - until recently, when the elusive lost art of clarino playing (in the fourth octave and above) was cracked by dedicated optimists such as Don L Smithers and JF Madeuf.
 
These arrangements are a stylistic departure from the trumpet's golden age of Baroque repertoire, featuring works well known in the 20th century, and provide excellent training for rhythmic precision, style, pitching and team playing. They're also fun, if you like that sort of thing.

Advice on tuning up the differently-pitched instruments and a technical tip are included.

The current regulations on SMP mean us little guys can only publish in-copyright works one at a time. So, you can collect them all and make yourself a tome!  

These arrangements were originally written for Lunchtime Tower Music (weather permitting), at the Dartington International Summer School between roughly 2000 and 2010, for courses led by Michael Laird and David Staff. Such performances from the mediæval clock tower involved the various brass and other wind classes playing seriously with an informal atmosphere. Logistical issues, a narrow staircase and the ubiquitous Health-and-Safety regulations prevented the use of timpani on the tower but sometimes larger groups, and those involving vertigo sufferers, played in the courtyard instead.

These pieces are the opposite of playing Baroque music on modern, or postmodern instruments.
Get them all now and enjoy a refreshing change!

Enjoy!
