Music Arrangements
“Well written and easy to read, stylistically correct, accurate when transcribed, properly orchestrated and harmonized, notated well and, best of all...they sound GREAT!”
Darryl Brenzel
Former saxophonist and chief arranger, US Army Jazz Ambassadors
Welcome bandleaders, music directors, vocalists!
As the long-time bandleader of the dance band Fresh Air, and the manager of Fresh Air Music Entertainment, I’ve written an enormous library of arrangements for many different kinds of ensembles. I have charts for dance bands (with and without horns), Latin jazz groups, brass trios and quintets, and string quartets.
If you’re looking for a chart for a popular dance tune, chances are I have already written it, usually for rhythm section, 3-4 horns, and background vocals. Most arrangements can be modified expeditiously to accommodate a different key or a slightly different instrumentation.
Have you written an original song and need a carefully-written, accurate lead sheet to apply for a copyright or give to an accompanist? I’ll be happy to make it happen at a reasonable cost.
