1920s Orchestra Charts, Arangements, Transcriptions

1920s Orchestra Library. 173 charts (written arrangements). Over 120 note-for-note transcriptions from the original hit recordings and over 45 original arrangements, all written by ASCAP arranger/composer/transcriber Mike Henebry (most likely the world’s leading transcriber of this kind of music). These are mostly pre-Swing Era charts (1923-1935). The charts are instrumentals and vocals (male & female). Each chart contains all the parts (scores are not always included). Instrumentation is generally 10-11-pc (1st alto, 2nd tenor, 3rd alto, 2 trumpets, trombone, piano, bass, banjo/guitar, drums, optional violin). All charts are sent to you anywhere in the world as pdf files. So, you will have no postage, no storage problems, you will have a permanent file copy, and you can print out as many copies as you want.

These are charts that could easily sell for $50 apiece. The "Buy Now" price of $60 makes the charts only 35 cents each! There’s no catch, it’s just an incredible bargain!
