What's New? - arr. Holman (original) (raw)

Bill Holman wrote this arrangement for the Kenton Orchestra in the early '60's to feature Marvin Stamm on trumpet (of course). Kenton never recorded it, so this is a brand-new chart to most people. It opens with the full band setting up the ballad texture for the soloist. A faster tempo is then the vehicle for the soloist to romp through. There is a return to the ballad style with a quiet ending. This chart is set up to be played by 8 or 10 brass. No guitar. 5-4-4-3
