Your audiences will love this clever baroque flavored chart.

A monumental piece of big band jazz.
|
Bob Curnow has created an arrangement of Les Hooper's brilliant opening theme from a longer setting titled Dorian Blue. The chart is a trumpet solo throughout, offering an exceptional opportunity to feature your trumpet soloist. 5-4-4-3

This standard is made even more beautiful with this Hooper arrangement.

An up-tempo be-bop type chart, with the clever, interesting writing we have come to expect from Les Hooper.

What a great , fun-filled piece this is! Les has created a mythical character (in this case, the lead trombone player) who runs through a number of "musician jokes" while referring to his "brother.
|
The title says it all! Your band and your audience will have a good time with this chart by Les! It is a Latin-rock setting of a very hiptune.

This Cole Porter tune has become a jazz standard because of a great melody and great changes.
|
Once again Hooper leads the way with a chart that is simple to play but still great to listen to and to play.
|
One of the Basie-style charts that Les is so great at writing.

This chart is a play on Minnie the Mooch and somewhat set in that era.
|
Les has created another techno-swing chart that has overtones of the old swing band style, but it is set very much in modern day fashion.
|
This is a dazzling arrangement of the great jazz standard. With a mix of Latin and swing, Les has created a special setting of this favorite of jazz players.

Les calls this funky, fire-spitting rock! This is another off the Hooper chicken rock charts.

Can you say “trip-uh-let”? This fun, down home swingin’ chart was
recorded by the Les Hooper Big Band on “Dorian Blue”. With reasonable brass ranges, there is plenty of solo space for
baritone saxophone, trumpet and piano,
and crowd pleasing ensemble shouts and hip eighth note triplet figures to
captivate your band and audience.
(5-4-4-3)

Les Hooper has a way of creating charming, interesting and playful music and not making it too hard to play.

This is a lovely, bossa-type ballad which is captured by soft sounds from the whole band, especially flugelhorns.

Les has written a thoughtful, lovely Latin tune.

This is a lovely, straight-eighth waltz that starts simply and quietly with the rhythm section.
