Big Band/Jazz Orchestra Charts - Studio recordings & Finale Realizations

Some of the jazz tunes (and tunes influenced by jazz idioms)I've written over the last 40 years or so.

Jazz Tunes (Swing, Fusion, & "Show tunes")

Demo recordings to get ready for the concert, plus live recordings from the gig. These are currently unedited, so a lot of talking needs to be removed, and probably some work done on the EQ.

Music & Chocolate Tunes

Big Band Chart using Garritan Samples. I wrote this last fall (2012) sometime.

Trying to Bop

ISU Jazz Combo performance -  a couple of wrong notes and a couple people missing the D.S. - but overall an enjoyable version.

Con Fusion (Live Performance)

03 - Blues For Porter - The Tom Johnson Virtual Jazz Orchestra - Playing Alone Together

04 Make It So - Tom Johnson Virtual Jazz Orchestra: Playing Alone Together

05 - With You All The Way - The Tom Johnson Virtual Jazz Orchestra - Playing Alone Together

06 - Cats And Mouses - The Tom Johnson Virtual Jazz Orchestra - Playing Alone Together

07 Last Song Of Summer - The Tom Johnson Virtual Jazz Orchestra: Playing Alone Together -

Wrote this last week for my Jazz Composition class via Berklee on line.

3 For 3

A modal tune - E Dorian in the A sections and G Phyrgian in the B section. No solos, just the head.

En la Casa del Perro (Head only)

Head Chart performed at Music & Chocolate

A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square

Con Fusion

This is a good first draft of a Big Band + Vocalist chart. I still want to go through and do some chord substitutions during the last version of the form (and maybe a few in the solo section). The solo section will be voice during the first two A sections and the voice and Bass trading fours in the B and last A section.

With You All The Way

Unedited - need to get rid of chatter and play with the EQ a bit

With You All The Way
