The Arrangers' Dreambook

All the sax, brass and ensemble voicings of all the bands today and yesterday in one book for both the young and the experienced arranger. No more wondering: "How does he get that sound?" The book deals strictly with voicings. The examples mean very little horizontally. The main purpose is to see wht's happening vertically. How the chord is voiced in the saxes, brass, and ensemble. The voicing and position of the saxes in relation to the brass is what determines the style of the ensemble sound.The examples are the bands of Sammy Nestico, Neil Hefti, Gene Krupa, Bobby Sherwood, Harry James, Louie Bellson, Benny Goodman, Clyde McCoy, Benny Carter, Quiny Jones, Woody Herman, Sy Zetner, Tommy Dorsey, Billy May, Ralph Flanagan, Buddy Rich, Wes Hensel, Phil Wilson, Jerry Cournoyer, Jimmy Guiffre, Jimmy Manone, Lyle "Spud" Murphy, Bob Haggart, and others.
