Big Band Revival!

Though history preserved the recordings of the Swing Era, the sheet music is mostly long gone. Versions of certain scores and parts remain, often imperfect, always difficult to find. Our mission is to create high quality re-creations of what that sheet music could've looked like, so that it might be performed once again for contemporary audiences.

For our first two years, we have recreated the music of Chick Webb and Jimmie Lunceford . Because it can be a complicated process to legally secure the rights needed to make these available, the collections will not appear here all at once. Instead, as each new set of rights is obtained, we will post that song here for sale at the lowest price we could negotiate with the rights-holder - so stay tuned as we add to this wonderful library!
