scooby Posted November 15, 2015 Report Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) I'm searching for any Thad Jones charts he wrote for the Basie band (e.g. The Deacon, Sweet and Purty). They are fantastic charts but hard to find. I think they show the origins of what he would go on to write for the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis band. Thanks for any leads.

DIS Posted November 16, 2015 Report Posted November 16, 2015 Jeff - I might have a half dozen of the charts that Thad Jones wrote for Count Basie. I'll compile a list and get back to you. - Douglas Quote
DIS Posted November 17, 2015 Report Posted November 17, 2015 Of the Thad Jones arrangements that Count Basie recorded, I have (or have access to) "Can't We Be Friends." "The Deacon," "Fools Rush In," "Makin' Whoopee," "To You," and possibly "Mama's Talkin' Soft." Some of these charts are published; some are unpublished transcriptions. Quote
JSngry Posted November 18, 2015 Report Posted November 18, 2015 DIS - just curious who published the Thad/Basie charts, and when. Was it Kendor from back in the day, or somebody else, more recently? Quote
