Got a possible sub gig coming up, but it is with a rock/clubdate band, not my usual thing at all. They have no charts, and while the material is somewhat familiar (being the ubiquitous pop/top40 stuff we've probably all heard forever on radio), I've never played it, except for some Wilson Pickett / James Brown (r.i.p.) stuff when I was in rock band during High School 30 years ago.

Anyway, here is a list that the guitarist forwarded to me. I don't have any of this on CDs, no music books on this material. (I've managed to stay mainly in the jazz area and some "classical" for most of my playing career. I count myself lucky.) BUT, I can see that to be a more rounded player, I should be familiar with this whole genre of music. Memorized, no less.

Problem is, I don't know if I can get up to speed on all this material in time for the gig. Hate to say "no" to a job.

In any case, I'd still like to get to know this material and if there is an efficient way to get parts or charts without spending a fortune on CDs and transcribing for days on end. And this is only the tip of the iceberg, I reckon.

Life is too short. Any suggestions? Any compendia or horn-chart fake books anyone knows about?

Many thanks,

-- Venturion

P.S. Do you think trumpeters of the year 2307 will regard the horn lines to this stuff with the same careful veneration that we bring to the Brandenburg 2 or Joy Spring?
