{"value"=>"<p>This subseries makes up the bulk of the scores. Most of these arrangements are for five saxophones, three or four trumpets, three trombones, and a rhythm section of piano, guitar, bass, and drums. Many are augmented by strings, French horns, a solo vocalist, a choir, or some combination of these elements. A few of the big band score folders also contain small group or other arrangements derived from the large ensemble orchestration. Maltby arranged the majority of the charts; other arrangers include Al Muller, Red Bone, Rusty Dedrick, Bill Potts, Sy Oliver, Joe Reisman, Al Cohn and Jimmy Giuffre. Unless noted otherwise, the arranger is (or is presumed to be) Maltby.</p> <p>Most of the big band charts are of popular songs or film themes for which the composers are noted, when identifiable. Among them are Six Flats Unfurnished (Maltby's hit for Benny Goodman), St. Louis Blues Mambo, and Theme from The Man With the Golden Arm, as well as other arrangements recorded on Maltby's albums and singles of the 1950s. Other arrangements were written for Lawrence Welk, and there are arrangements for the alma maters of several colleges. A few of the scores are original compositions by Maltby, Al Muller, or Rusty Dedrick.</p>"}
