Composed by Clare Fischer, arranged by Bill Dobbins
Strayhorn (publisher's sample), arranged by Bill Dobbins
Clare Fischer originally recorded Strayhorn in 1963 with his trio on Surging Ahead (Pacific Jazz PJ 67). Clare Fischer (p), Ralph Pena (b), Larry Bunker (d). The album is now out of print, but it's available in whole as part of the excellent Mosaic Select 19: The Pacific Jazz Piano Trios, a collection of recordings featuring trios led by Russ Freeman, Richard Twardzik, Jimmy Rowles, and Clare Fischer.
Bill Dobbins arranged it as a piano feature for big band, and he completely wrote out the solo piano part so that it can also be played by good classically-trained musicians with little jazz experience. Jazz pianists are, of course, invited to improvise the solo. The arrangement is published by Advance Music.
