No Regrets

May 23, 2011 – 7:34 pm

A moving ballad written on my 60th birthday and finally scored for 10 piece band to feature the beautiful flugelhorn sound of George Rabbai. Not a particularly difficult chart, the opening ballad seques to a double time bossa feel for the solo section. What will make the chart challenging for some bands are the doubles – lead alto doubles on flute and bari plays bass clarinet, though an alternate bari only part is included. Vibes are optional but desirable. Woodwind parts are quite easy. A recording of this piece is available on the Power of Ten’s CD Earth Tones available on this site.

Instrumentation: Alto; ten; bari.; 2-tpts, 1 bone, Piano/Vibes, Bass, Guitar; Drums

This holiday classic is perfect for gigs during the December season. Nice straight ahead 3/4 offers solo space for rhythm or horn soloists. Don’t let the warped title fool you, as the changes have been warped too! This is definitely not the one the carolers have been singing for years.

Instrumentation: Alto/flute; ten/soprano; bari/clar.; 2-tpts (dbl flugel), 1 bone, Piano/Vibes, Bass, Guitar & Drums

A nice moderate swing tune based on rhythm changes and some nice Thad-like ensemble voicings. A strong sax soli and open solo sections make this chart an excellent teaching tool and concert selection for high school and college big bands.

Instrumentation: 5/4/4/4
