parts for small band and sax quartet

[C_Claudemonster]

Hi All,

I'll post as a wanted in the yard sale too but I wondered if anyone can help? Our little band has a gig in July and one in August and I've volunteered to find some saxophone quartet parts and perhaps some small band stuff for about 9/10 players (big band instruments so the usual, trumpet, sax, rhythm etc)

Does anyone have any music they are able to email, lend me or even sell at a reasonable price? We are looking for jazzy numbers, perhaps some bluesy stuff or any nice arrangements that would sound good at a packed out marquee gig!

Grade 5+ standard I guess but we are all capable players so I suppose you can't really put a target level on music, any music is good if it's played well 🙂

Thank you in advance if anyone is willing to help

Here's a couple of sites you might try. Be aware though, free music are free and you might not necessarily like everything there.

Free sheet music for Saxophone quartet - Download PDF, MP3 & MIDI (All from dead easy to difficult, some are really nice, some are ehhhh..... not to my liking...)

Happy hunting 🙂

Songs like "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" (Joe Zawinul), "Listen Here" (Ed Harris), "Last Night" (Mar-Keys), "Comin' Home Baby" (E. Hagen) ..... are nice songs for big band. Often played with open solos, so everyone can blow a solo.

Have a look on the IMSLP web site which has free downloads.

Check out Saxtet: http://www.saxtetpublications.com/index.php
You need to buy the music but it's all excellent and they're a fantastic quartet themselves, well worth getting the CDs! - Particularly the "Safer Sax' album

Jon Halton at http://www.simplyreeds.co.uk/ has some lovely arrangements. He has an online catalogue and is really helpful and reasonable (imho) You could also try http://www.mindformusic.com/ for some small band stuff. Sue 🙂
