Solo features with a live big band-For many musicians playing in a big band is an ultimate high point. The special line-up of the big band guarantees amazing tuttis but equally allows the opportunity to perform quiet ballads. Playing in the wind section of a big band is an experience you will not forget in a hurry. Unfortunately playing a solo as the word suggests is reserved for only a few. However with this book you can be the centre of attention as you get the opportunity to play the leading part in these swinging pieces! On the enclosed CD you will hear fantastic solos which give you a good idea of the how it should be done. Of course you do not have to copy the solo you can also improviseto the written chords. Almost all the pieces have been newly written in the style of the great big bands but you will also come across two famous hits: Barry Manilow???s sultry Copacabana and Stevie Wonder???s fabulous You Are the Sunshine of My Life. Big Band Highlights for Alto/Tenor Saxophone as composed and arranged by Johan Plomp. Includes play-along CD.

I wrote Cygncopations in 2003 for Victoria Walpole who gave its first performance with the BBC Concert Orchestra conducted by Robin Stapleton on 11th July of that year. The performance was broadcast live on BBC Radio 2 as part of a Friday Night is Music Night programme from London's Mermaid Theatre. The work was subsequently recorded by BBC Radio 3 conducted by Barry Wordsworth. In 2005 Victoria Walpole recorded Cygncopations with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Stephen Bell. This was released on a CD of the composer's instrumental works by Dutton-Epoch under the title A Little Fall-ish! (CDLX7175).The title Cyncopations indulges my pleasure in wordplay whereby the misspelling of cyncopations puts one in mind of the French 'le cygne' (the swan) which Sibelius famously represents with the Cor Anglais. The piece is scored for Strings with two Horns harp and a very important part for the Vibraphone. In the first of its two sections (Rêverie) I had a strong image of a calm lake with maybe a swan floating gently on the water with occasional random movements from the currents below. In the second section (Danse) the bird heads for dry land and begins an eccentric waterside jig for its friends.The orchestration is for Strings with two Horns Harp and Percussion. The solo part may also be played by an Alto or Tenor Saxophone. In this regard I am indebted to my friend and colleague Kyle Horch for his invaluable advice in the preparation of the solo parts. - Roderick Elms
