A big band leader that I know is thinking about putting together a show with a local symphony orchestra. In addition to each group playing alone, he would like to finish up with both groups playing together. Does anyone know of any sources for charts for a combined group like this?
He's not really looking for avant garde type of stuff - more along the lines of traditional big band fare (Miller, Dorsey, Goodman, Basie, perhaps some Nelson Riddle, since we have multiple female vocalists). I am halfway competent as a big band arranger, but don't have the first clue how to arrange for an orchestra.
