I am working with the Eastside Swing dance club to set up some playing opportunities for my various Big Bands and combos. This is a new opportunity for us and the music is a big genre for us to explore. So I am looking for some new charts to buy for the various bands.
I started a thread in the Woodwind Forums and got a lot of pointers there. One of my favs is http://www.swingarchive.com/ and I’ve bought three combo charts to check out the quality of the arrangements. They are Lil Darlin’, Moten Swing, and Cute all of which are Basie numbers. I do like Basie.
The lady in charge likes music like this plus the Charleston and Boogie Woogie. I’m trying to build a book of 50 charts. And I’m not finding an easy way to locate this sheet music at the normal places. I’ve found some sites with these kind of listings:
