 This is one of the most creative, important big band compositions ever written by anyone! It is also a chart which has been in demand for many years.  This arrangement by Bob Curnow is based on Johnny Richards' original composition written for the Stan Kenton Orchestra, which was part of the "Adventures In Time" album.  The 1961 Capitol Records recording of Christmas music was a smash hit for Kenton.
All About Ronnie - arr. Bill Russo All At Once You Love Her - arr. Lennie Niehaus All The Things You Are - arr. Gerry Mulligan
 Exactly as recorded by Chris Conner with the Stan Kenton Orchestra, this moody, brilliant arrangement is a perfect vehicle for your vocalist.  Lennie Niehaus wrote a series of terrific arrangements for the Stan Kenton Orchestra (this was recorded on the "Stage Door Swings" CD).  One of those mystery charts that hardly anyone knows about, this chart is a beauty.

Beeline East - arr. Bob Curnow Begin the Beguine - arr. Johnny Richards Begin the Beguine - arr. Lennie Niehaus
Bob Curnow took Ken Hanna's wonderful, latin, medium-tempo tune and made it a bit more accessible for good bands.  As recorded by the Stan Kenton Orchestra on Back To Balboa (Capitol), Richards takes this great standard and turns it into a 6/8 latin and swinging screamer.  As recorded by the Stan Kenton Orchestra on Adventures In Standards, this is a medium-swing chart on a great tune.

Blues Story, The - Gene Roland Body and Soul - John Green / arr. by Marty Paich Bogota (edited) - Ken Hanna / edited by Bob Curnow
Here is a slow, gutty, "down-home" type of blues written for and recorded by the Stan Kenton Orchestra on the Adventures In Blues album.
As recorded by Stan Kenton & His Orchestra on the “7.5 On The Richter Scale” album, this all time great standard receives a fresh sound with the impeccable scoring talent of Marty Paich. This arrangement has it all…….a solo piano introduction, a variety of feels (ballad, rubato, swing, 12/8), and stunning ensemble passages. This chart is considered by many to be one of the finest big band arrangements ever written, and Sierra Music is proud to be able to make it available to you. (5-5-5-4)

This version is edited to be played with only 8 brass and a standard saxophone section. As recorded by the Stan Kenton Orchestra on “Live at Brigham Young University”, this is the thrilling latin Stan Kenton sound like that of “Malaga” and “Malaguena” that is sure to dazzle any crowd. Solo space is written for tenor saxophone, trumpet, trombone, drums and congas along with wonderfully exciting ensemble writing making this a sure fire winner with your band. (5-4-4-4)

(5-5-5-4) with the Kenton saxophone section instrumentation (alto, 2 tenor, 2 baritone)  Bill Holman wrote some of the best music played by the Stan Kenton Orchestra and "Boop Boo Be Doop" is surely one of those charts.  When Lennie arranged for the Stan Kenton Orchestra, he created the most beautiful big band dance book ever written.
