Jazz and Function Band Arrangements and Classical Transpositions
Welcome to my Jazz, Classical Trumpet Transposition and Band Arrangement shop.
On this page I am selling work that I have written for my own use. With the intention that other trumpet players and other musicians who work with bands may find useful. I have no plans to get rich but would like to save others the time that I have invested in writing these charts. For a small admin fee.
I reserve the right not to sell to certain people (you know who you are!)
These are the 4 services that I offer.
- Collections of hardbop trumpet lead sheet books
- Transposition service (Real Book Lead Sheet Style)
- Band arrangements; Brass Quintet, Function Band & Jazz Band
- Transposed orchestral Trumpet parts
(Please note that all music will be supplied in PDF form and NOT on paper)
