OlivePress is the go-to place for function band leaders who need accurate, no-fuss charts and parts for their horn players.
These charts and parts have all been road-tested with my function band The Chromatones. I created them to meet a need that many band leaders face: how to get good, clear parts on the stand for horn players that match or compliment the song as heard on the record, with enough flexibility built-in to the structure to allow for some vamping on the night.
With this in mind I created parts and a band leader chord chart with clear section headers and a few structural cues, leaving options open for how it might be played on the night. The band leader’s chord chart includes a cue for the lead horn line whenever there is one playing.
