NOVEMBER NOTES: (November 12th Update): We have an especially exciting new release today, years in the making! We proudly present the Thad Jones Anthology: 82 Original Small-Group Compositions. This has been prepared in close collaboration with Dr. David Demsey, Jazz Studies Coordinator and Curator of the Living Jazz Archives at William Paterson University. We are thrilled to present this major addition to the available canon of one of the great minds of jazz compositon and arranging. This book is available in traditional paper and PDF download versions. This book is an effort to bring definitive versions of these small-group Thad Jones compositions the wider attention and recognition that they deserve. They are transcribed as precisely as possible from the original recorded versions. These are not new arrangements; they are Thad’s original versions, note for note. This book also includes a discography, listing source recordings for all compositions in this volume, as well as a Thad Jones biography, and information about the Thad Jones Archive at William Paterson University that is the basis of this project. The transcriptions provided here contain the details needed to create a full performance of each tune, as close to the original recorded performance as possible. This book uses a lead sheet format throughout. Two- or three-horn tunes are written using single staves; four- or five-horn tunes use a grand staff format to separate the horns. Some of the multi-horn tunes would undoubtedly be better expressed with a full score and parts, which is not possible here due to the limitations of space and length.

We are very pleased to present another complex, difficult, highly rewarding chart from the great Oliver Nelson, Majorca. Majorca stands in stark contrast to the rest of the tracks from Nelson's 1963 album Full Nelson. Unlike the more traditional, straight-ahead material that fills out the rest of the record's run time, it features strong influences from both the rhythm of traditional bolero music and the harmony of French composers such as Maurice Ravel. There is no improvisation - every note is fully planned out, although soloists are afforded some slight interpretive leeway.

We also have a new set of seven of the holiday charts we publish from The Tony Bennett Christmas Album as arranged by Robert Farnon.

As you will notice, we have a huge number of Hal Leonard charts newly available for download in PDF format. These are led by new releases including little big band versions of the Jacksons' ABC as well as standards Basin Street Blues and Señor Blues, a combo take on Bernie's Tune, and big band charts for the Crustaders' Put it Where You Want it and Mark Taylor's original Space City Shuffle--all available in traditional paper or PDF download formats. We have newly available PDF charts from many of their best arrangers, in various styles, group sizes, and difficulty levels-please browse below for these. We also recently added two of their most popular jazz releases of 2024: Sofrito from Michael Philip Mossman and Michele Fernández's excellent new take on My Favorite Things. Another newer one that is sure to be popular is Mark Taylor's little big band version of the Basie standard Corner Pocket.
