MY VOCAL CHARTS

You're a vocalist expanding your repertoire, assembling a book of accurate, dependable lead sheets for your band. You've found some new material and you've got your own ideas for some older tunes- but with your agenda, you're too busy to explore chart writing. I'm here for you.

THEY CALL ME "BIG EARS"

I've been transcribing music as a way of life for 45 years, assembling a jazz fakebook now containing over 800 tunes. I've also been called "the chart man"- I follow the trumpeter/arranger tradition set by Shorty Rogers, Billy May, Thad Jones, Quincy... You can hear my arrangements on Kitty Margolis' EVOLUTION (MadKat) and Martha Blackard's RIVER ROMANCE (CD BABY).

"I have used Graham for professional charts for 4 years. He is fast, reliable and accurate. I would highly recommend his service to other singers." --Sherie Friedlander

"..My GO-TO man! Not only a fine musician, he creates beautiful charts and even works from recordings when I'm looking for a particular style." --Karen Monte

"I have been fortunate to have him as a resource for transcribing and arranging for quite a few years, and I couldn't be happier. I get nothing but happy faces from my musicians -which include Graham, one of the finest trumpet and flugelhorn players I've ever heard." --Jack Pollard

"Graham's been creating beautiful charts for me for several years. He's incomparable for price, friendliness, and service- a fun guy to work with."--Dana Land

"Graham, thanks for your eagle eye and encyclopedic knowlege of the music." --Mark Levine, THE JAZZ THEORY BOOK

OKAY-- ENOUGH HYPE!!

Email me an MP3, tell me what MP3 to download from iTunes, or send me a tape, CD or sheet. I can probably help you find your key over the phone.

PRICE ? --A good starting figure is $25, for a one-page lead with lyrics, melody and opening setup rhythm figure if needed, for a new tune. A transposed standard could be as little as $10. I'll work with you!
