best thing would be to find a big band, go see them rehearse , and ask to look at the charts.

that sort of thing is usually copyright, and big bands either purchase or arrange their own. you might be lucky at a library, maybe at the university.

in any case, go hard copy if you can, unless you have a 21 inch screen

following a score while listening to it played is very good fun, don't ya reckon?

i was at the local music store today, wich has a lot of notes/scores but not what i was after. I guess i have to order over the net. Im afraid to visit the libray i got some cds i should have returned long ago.

Gil Evans was the arranger/conductor for many of the cool orchestrations for Miles. We had a bar here in Chicago that, for years, had a jukebox exclusively full of the "Birth of the Cool" type music.

You might check to see if Carl Fischer music in NYC could find some orchestrations.

Solid!
