As published on A Message From Birdland
by the Maynard Ferguson Orchestra, this arrangement of “Stella By Starlight” is
dedicated to Locksley “Slide” Hampton. Travel between styles as this chart
moves smoothly from ballad to Latin to medium swing to fast swing. A strong trumpet
soloist can really show their metal here. Come for the classic melody, stay for
the solos, and get swept along by the intricate rhythms. 5-4-4-3

Patty Darling brings us yet another great contemporary chart: “Twists

piano). Add in some auxiliary percussion, have fun, and enjoy the drive! 5-4-4-4
