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.

  1. Collections of hardbop trumpet lead sheet books
  2. Transposition service (Real Book Lead Sheet Style)
  3. Band arrangements; Brass Quintet, Function Band & Jazz Band
  4. Transposed orchestral Trumpet parts

(Please note that all music will be supplied in PDF form and NOT on paper)
