The Zodiac Suite is one of Jazz Lines Publications' proudest releases. It has been in the works for quite a while, and we are humbled to be able to make it available. We also have another fantastic offering from the always thrilling band of Terry Gibbs, two arrangements from Tadd Dameron, and another Mary Lou Williams classic. Please check back frequently, as there will be more releases during February. Other recent notable items include the first five Don Sickler Jazz Lines Publications Editions. Kendor is also issuing many Sammy Nestico classics, which can be found in January's new arrangement release pages.

ZODIAC SUITE [COMPLETE]: MARY LOU WILLIAMS
An important piece of American Music History is finally available for performance and study! This multi-movement work takes about 30 minutes for performance. The piece is scored for flute/piccolo, oboe, clarinet/bass clarinet, bassoon, trumpet, horn in F, trombone, 2 violins, 2 violas, cello, piano, bass, and drums. In addition, the Cancer movement features a tenor saxophone soloist and the Pisces movement features a female vocalist. The movements correspond to the 12 zodiac signs: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. |
WHAT'S YOUR STORY, MORNING GLORY: MARY LOU WILLIAMS
This arrangement of What's Your Story, Morning Glory was written for Andy Kirk to feature a male vocalist (Pha Terrell) and clarinet (John Harrington). We have adapated the arrangement so that it may be played as clarinet (or alto sax) feature instead. The key is Db. This was recently recorded by the Dutch Jazz Orchestra on their tribute to Mary Lou Williams. |
THE FAT MAN: TERRY GIBBS DREAM BAND/MANNY ALBAM
Here is Manny Albam's arrangement of The Fat Man as recorded by the Terry Gibbs Dream band in 1959. This arrangement was written to feature Terry on vibes, but we have included optional Bb and Eb soloist parts so that it may be played with any featured soloist. This is not a transcription, as the original parts (as licensed from Terry Gibbs) were used to publish this arrangement. |
JUST PLAIN TALKIN': TADD DAMERON
Tadd Dameron wrote this arrangement for Benny Goodman in 1962 for his tour of Russia (it wasn't recorded). He based it on the arrangement that he had recently written for his Magic Touch record. This arrangement is very close to the one from the Magic Touch album. Since there isn't a recording of this arrangement, we have included a sample that was recorded on the Magic Touch album, which will give you an idea of the feel of the chart. |

In addition to the newest items available this month, we must again pay tribute to the unusually excellent selection offered in January. Our good friend Chuck Sher added two more fantastic books to his world-renowned library - Essential Grooves and Three-Note Voicings & Beyond. Hal Leonard also published the C edition of Volume 4 in their hugely popular The Real Book series; the first totally legal and accurate versions of these classic books. Two Gordon Goodwin play-alongs, Volumes 2 and 3 of Greg Fishman's Jazz Phrasing for Saxophone, and the Storyville Presents Teddy Wilson transcription book indeed make January's choices worth a long second look. To complement the below, we also have Alfred's New Frontier for Drumset, Colin's Pocket Trumpet Pieces for Practice and Recital, Mel Bay's Flamenco Guitar Guide, and Hal Leonard's Shuffle Blues Play-Along, Building Bass Drum Technique, and Frank Sinatra: More of His Best-Original Keys for Singers. As always, there are also other new instructional books, play-alongs, songbooks, and transcriptions from many other artists and styles as well.
