A forgotten quartet attributed to Haydn and largely ignored for 200 years. Issued in Vienna in 1787 by Haydn's favoured publisher, Artaria, the title page claims that it was both composed and arranged...

This is a lovely bolero. It is a tribute to my wife's mother who has passed away. This one is not difficult and only requires one fluegel for doubles. Fluegel and tenor are featured on the melody (Sep...

A medium-slow blues that leans lightly on Ellington and a bit heavier on New Orleans. In fact, the first chorus is stated by the trio of clarinet, muted trumpet and muted trombone that will be familia...

This chart is a fierce, mid-tempo, funk steamroller. It never varies from the basic groove of from the 12-bar blues structure. However, a simple harmonic device (sliding up and down a semitone on each...

This is a light-hearted, hard-swinging tribute to a couple of my favorite tunes. The A section fits a new, original, chromatic melody on to 'A Train' changes. The bridge introduces a contrasting riff-...

This mid-tempo swinger is inspired by the music of Billy Strayhorn. Cast in a modified 32-bar AABA form, the tonal centers are clear but fluid. The angular melody is somewhat tempered by the juicy, bi...
