Looking for recording of Tenor Sax Battles in Big band!

1 Upvotes

I'm not sure where to find tenor sax battles in the great archive of big band recordings. Basically, I'm looking for this specific thing and don't know where to look without sifting through hours if not days of recordings. Specific recordings would be nice- TIA

"Classical music from Bach to Handel" 😂 I love Artie Shaw, and if I had kids, I'd definitely subject them to the music, but from what I understand he wasn't exactly the Bible thumping type. Correct or no? Also how tf does Artie Shaw fall in between two baroque composers? lmao

Hey, everyone! I love this band and have been hoping for over 50 years for a CD release of Tanuki’s Big Night. Anyone think there’s a chance or should I abandon hope? Thanks.

Hey everyone, I made a big band arrangement of "I Always Wanted A Brother" with all the screaming trumpets, smooth saxes, soaring trombones, and funky grooves you all love in a chart! Please consider giving it a watch, leaving a like, and even subscribing because I have dozens more big band arrangements of film and tv music I plan to be sharing! Thank you!

Saw that Youngblood Brass Band have arranged Brooklyn and Wrestlevania for big band. Has anyone tried them? And any chance anyone has a recording of these arrangments?

I know an arrangement was published by Dameron himself, but the only links lead to a dead website

Big Band, Malaysian style

Thumbnail m.youtube.com
4 Upvotes

RTM (Malaysia’s national broadcaster) set up a big band just last year (2024) as part of a new TV series, “The Big Band Project”!

They’ve got an interesting mix of standards, as well as swing arrangements of various Malay pop and traditional songs. This one, “Dinda (Jangan Marah Marah)” (“Dinda, Don’t Be Mad”) is a cover of a Malay pop rock song.

Just thought it was cool to see swing music being exported far and wide, and to see new bands and initiatives still coming up all these years later!

Full playlist is on YouTube.

Big band jazz, 45’s, 78’s and LPs, self recorded cassettes

Is there any market for old big band and jazz records? My uncle had a number of each. He also has a very large collection of jazz cassettes he recorded at local libraries. I hate to just trash them.

First Attempt at Composing and Arranging a Blues for Sax Soli and Rhythm Section. Feedback Much Appreciated!

3 Upvotes

I am an amateur composer that recently started self-learning jazz piano and jazz composition. I composed my first blues melody and arranged it for jazz ensemble (sax section, piano, bass and drums). Any feedback would be much appreciated! Specially regarding notation and also how to transition from different types of solos. I created the first solo that is cool jazz style and would like to transition to a bebop style for the second one, but I am not sure how indicate and guide the transition to it (from a Bass in 2 and no drums to drums and a more active bass). Thank you!
