Your audiences will absolutely love these 3 classics from the Stan Kenton Orchestra Library! These charts are packed with plenty of solo space, great ensemble writing, and, of course, the opportunity for your trombone section to shine. All of the charts are arranged and adapted for standard big band instrumentation.
Sierra Music recommends programming your festival performance in the following order:
A Little Minor Booze - Willie Maiden
This swinging, happy chart allows for lots of blowing space for alto and trumpet, and also features the trombone section. Sierra recently released a revised, cleaned-up version in Finale which your band will very much appreciate. This chart really swings! 5-5-5-3
All The Things You Are - arr. Stan Kenton
This beautiful ballad, on the classic standard by Jerome Kern, is arranged by the master himself, Stan Kenton. This chart features the lush trombone section sound of the Kenton Orchestra and is re-scored to be played without the mellophoniums. This is a great addition to any festival program. 5-5-5-3
Malaguena (edited) - arr. Bill Holman
Adapted to be played with standard big band instrumentation, Bill Holman's arrangement of this exceptional tune is a fiery and energetic classic that the Stan Kenton Orchestra is known for. This great Latin chart has solo space for trombone (written) and tenor (improvised). A closer to bring your audience to their feet!
