The Park Avenue Arrangements Are For Sale!

All of the arrangements include at least the following parts:    trumpet, tenor, bone, rhythm, & vocal. Many
include a separate drum part.  If the arrangement differs from the original radio version, (which many do),  I
sometimes try to include a rehearsal/informational suggestion sheet.

When we first started The Park Avenue Band I searched the Internet for charts!  I saw an incredible array of
prices and quality!  The websites I have visited usually offer the three horn parts and no rhythm parts.  Some do
have the rhythm parts but many times they don't match up structurally and hardly ever do they have rehearsal
letters in them.

I found that even when the rhythm players can play very well but don't actually read written music, they can still
easily follow my rhythm charts and utilize the rehearsal letters during our practice time.   I also often include
vocal cues for the rhythm players (which they tell me really helps them to learn the music!).

When I can, at no additional charge, I will send you an mp3 of the original version.  We have
recorded many of my arrangements but not all have been "mp3'd" so it's hit and miss!  I'll send when I can.

I don't claim to be a great arranger but I know for sure that these arrangements work
because The Park Avenue Band plays them!  

Some of the arrangements took a few minutes and some took more than a few hours.  

Yea, maybe you could transcribe the tunes as I did,
but for $7.50 you'll save the time and the effort.

So you won't feel that your first purchase is a gamble of $7.50, I'll give one to you free,
Make Me Smile by Chicago!
On our partial song list page, there are several tunes listed, and I try to keep it updated but it's behind.
I've added many tunes to the book but they're not yet listed.
Not every tune on the list has been pdf'd so as they become available I'll add them to this page.

Until then, if there is a tune on the song list page that's not listed here, email me at theparkavenueband@yahoo.com and I'll
add that tune asap.  They'll all be added sooner or later.

All arrangements are sent by pdf. only!
