I quite like the Bob Mintzer Big Band -

he is/was tenor saxophone within the
Yellow Jackets etc. His website links
you to places to buy his stuff from, A list of Bob's books and arrangements that you can purchase. Only ones

www.kendormusic.com looking the
most promising with a whole range of
stuff.
We offer high quality big band arrangements which have been 'road-
tested' by working bands. Many of our big band charts are transcriptions
from the libraries of big bands such as Glenn Miller, Count Basie, Benny
http://www.lushlifemusic.com/ A good place for "old" charts: Glenn
Goodman, Artie Shaw, Tommy Dorsey, Harry James & Woody Herman,
Miller, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald…
plus singers such as Frank Sinatra and other greats of the big band era.
You can get a feel for all of our arrangements before you buy, by
downloading part of the score plus an MP3.
 I found another really amazing site I
thought you should know about:
It has thousands of books and charts
with classic stuff (Nat King Cole,
www.ejazzlines.com
Basie, Mingus, Ellington, etc) as well
as some really cool new stuff
(Metheny, Curnow LA big band, etc).
The only problem is deciding what
not to buy!

Another excellent site is Dave Wolpe’s
official site where you can buy full
band, combo and vocal charts. You

can also download them as pdf files. I
have personally bought three charts
already.
We carry charts from all of the big publishers, many smaller ones, and
we now have a line of over 100 charts we publish ourselves under the
Jazz Lines Publications imprint. The fall of 2010 will see the completion
of SchoolMusicService.com, our sister site, which will soon contain just
about every chart and piece of music in all genres offered by most
publishers. We aspire to be THE source for music for the band or
educator at any level.
London Orchestrations also Jazzwise Direct offers a unique mail order
service for musicians, schools and colleges. Our catalogues are packed
with outstanding jazz tutors, play alongs, fakebooks and DVDs
guaranteed to take both learners and teachers to the next level. We
print London Orchestrations arrangements to order for both big and small
bands and stock a wide range of charts from leading publishers including
Hal Leonard, Alfred, Powerhouse and Kendor.
All of the Big Band, Vocal and Combo charts listed on this site can be
ordered directly from me. Full scores are included with all of the big
band and big band vocal charts.
