Over the years I've written about 3,000 big band scores,
some in the old days for Geraldo, Oscar Rabin, Vic Lewis, The Squadronaires
and Jack Parnell, but mostly for all the big German radio bands and Peter
Herbolzheimer's Rhythm Combination & Brass. Working also in small
bands playing jazz, dance music and some Dixieland I've devised a method
of scoring that makes the small group sound like a big band. It's true!
Below you'll find a list of some small group scores I'm now offering for
sale. Click here for a demo.
These scores have all been tried and tested over many years and approved
by thousands of dancers and concert-goers. There are enough scores here,
up-tempo, medium, slow, waltzes, Latin American and vocals, for a band
of this size to play an entire dance evening.
The scores are all for a nine-piece
group consisting of trumpet, alto, tenor and baritone saxes, trombone,
keyboards, bass, drums and vocalist. The vocal scores can be provided
for male or girl vocalists in different keys if requested.
Each 9-piece group score costs £25 (Twenty-five
Pounds). The same scores for a smaller front line of trumpet, tenor and
trombone cost £20 (Twenty Pounds). I'll send you the score and all
the instrument parts via Scorch by email. Download and start printing
out the parts within seconds! You pay by credit card. Place your order
at Scores
and I'll email you full instructions.
