Buddy Rich stunned audiences around the world with this great music - now you can, too! From the famous Beatles tune - Norwegian Wood (arr. Holman), to the beautiful Latin melodies of Jobim - Wave (arr. LaBarbera), to the ultimate iconic Buddy Rich swing tune - Love For Sale (arr. Myers), these 3 charts pack a powerful program for your festival.
Sierra Music recommends programming your festival performance in the following order:
Norwegian Wood - Lennon & McCartney / arr. Bill Holman
Perhaps one of Holman's best known charts, this scintillating jazz waltz, full of excitement and energy, features solos for alto and trombone. Lots of raw power and blistering figures makes this the perfect "opener" for your festival program. 5-4-4-4
Wave - Jobim / arr. John LaBarbera
Performed by the Buddy Rich Big Band constantly, this chart features the bass trombone. Flute doubles are required on all saxophone parts. This is a ballad based on the beautiful melody by Antonio Carlos Jobim. A sensational chart! 5-4-4-4
Love For Sale - Cole Porter / arr. Pete Myers
This chart is in-your-face, outrageous, exciting and written exactly as it was recorded by the Buddy Rich band on the album "Big Swing Face." A sensational arrangement in an up-tempo swing setting. There is solo space for alto, trumpet, tenor and, of course, some wonderful drum breaks. This chart is sure to rip your audiences out of their seats! 5-4-4-4
