May 2022

MAY NOTES: We now have available the entire 2022 Essentially Ellington Series! Please scroll down through May's New Release Pages to see them all. We also just added six 2022 new issues from Baker's Jazz & More, as well as our first charts that John Wasson wrote for his Strata Big Band. Everything mentioned here is available in paper or PDF download format.

Our latest from Nat King Cole is Orange Colored Sky as arranged by Pete Rugolo for Nat's recording with the Stan Kenton Orchestra. Our continuing Nat King Cole project also presents For All We Know as arranged by Gordon Jenkins; please scroll down for these two. Coming very soon will be brand new releases of the arrangements from his classic recordings of The Christmas Song and Mona Lisa. All of these new ones will continue to be prepared using original scores and/or parts.

We now can happily offer an arrangement that has been temporarily out of print for quite a while-please see below for the original Ellington/Strayhorn Sugar Rum Cherry, now available in traditional paper copy and PDF download form. We also now have PDF versions of Chick Webb's Blue Minor, Harlem Congo, Lindy Hopper's Delight, and Liza (All the Clouds'll Roll Away), Dizzy Gillespie's If You Could See Me Now, Duke Ellington's East St. Louis Toodle-Oo and The Sheik Of Araby, Billy Strayhorn's Chelsea Bridge, and I Ain't Got Nothin' But the Blues from Ella Fitzgerald with the Duke Ellington Orchestra.

Also brand new is an exceptionally innovative and progressive chart from George Russell, All About Rosie, as he re-arranged for the Gerry Mulligan Concert Jazz Band in 1961.

NEW PDF DOWNLOADABLE ARRANGEMENTS NOTES: April has seen us add 32 more brand new and newly-available PDF arrangements to our site. We have the entire Rock Chalk Suite as a complete set available as traditional paper copies or downloadable PDFs, and we will be adding many more new PDF arrangement options to our site in the coming days and weeks.

NEW PDF DOWNLOADABLE ARRANGEMENTS NOTES: The 2022 Essentially Ellington charts bring us to 54 brand new and newly-available PDF downloadable arrangements listed this month, with more to come as always.

SPECIALLY-PRICED MULTI-CHART SET NOTES: Right below in May's New Release Pages we also have a nicely discounted complete set of all eight of the 2022 Essentially Ellington Releases. We have added seven brand new sets to this very well-received category of ours this month. Our Little Big Band and Jazz Combo Pak sets have long been very popular, so we have added a brand new one of each, focusing on classic standards. We also have a very diverse new set of vocal with big band arrangements, and two sets featuring combo charts from Second Floor Music, both for sextets, featuring the music of Bobby Watson and James Williams. Finally, we now have a set of ten vintage Stan Kenton charts, from a variety of his fantastic arrangers. Please just scroll down to view them all.
