Written with
the younger band in mind, this fun, easy-to-play chart can be performed as
written or used as a tool to reinforce ear training and improvising. There is ample solo space for alto saxophone,
trumpet, and guitar and can be played with a swing or hip hop feel. The reasonable brass ranges and flexibility
of this chart make it a must have for the younger band! (5-4-4-4)

Due to Covid-19 The Bob Curnow Big Band was not able to
record this piece live. What you will hear is a Finale midi playback. We ask
your understanding and look forward to being able to provide a recording of the
great Curnow Big Band in the near future
 Hear The Music!  See The Music!
This chart was commissioned for
the Fred Sturm Jazz Celebration Weekend and is one of Patty’s best charts yet. Patty Darling’s writing career has
skyrocketed because of her ability to write relevant, interesting contemporary
music, especially for younger players.
This piece is based on a terrific Hip Hop / Swing groove that you won’t
be able to get out of your head. It’s a guarantee that your band will love this
new piece by Patty. Solos are indicated for trumpet and guitar (or piano).
You’ll hear echoes of Patty’s chart on the
Radiohead classic “Idioteque” without all the demands of that chart. Moderate ranges
for all makes this a very accessible chart for most bands. 5-5-4-5 (opt. vibes) $50.00

Sierra Music is pleased to present
yet another wonderful, contemporary composition by Patty Darling. She has provided us with many publications
ranging from our “Easy-to-Play” series to the “Radiohead Jazz Project”. This new piece from Patty is a slow swing in
3/4 with elements of sparsity and transcendence throughout along with an
abundance of solo space for flugelhorn that really intensifies this
sentiment. “Gratitude” is the perfect
contrasting piece for your program to add that element of variety every band
and audience needs. (5-4-4-4)

Patty Darling takes us on a Latin Rock pilgrimage in 3/4 time with the occasional 4/4 and 5/4 meters in this exciting new composition that was commissioned by Lawrence University for the Fred Sturm Jazz Celebration Weekend.

Patty Darling brings us yet another great contemporary chart: “Twists
and Turns!” Imagine yourself on a road trip with smooth stretches and beautiful
scenery, interrupted by occasional sharp turns and peaceful lookouts. This
chart incorporates multiple solo opportunities and leans heavily on the pianist
(or pianists – a second keyboard player can double many sections with electric
piano). Add in some auxiliary percussion, have fun, and enjoy the drive! 5-4-4-4
|
This great piece could easily be a theme song for the next "cops and robbers" TV show! A wonderful, contemporary fusion piece in 3/4, Patty Darling's composition focuses a fair amount on the piano.
