A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square, arr. by Frank Mantooth

Ain't Gonna Ask No More, Toshiko Akiyoshi (WW doubles needed, IIRC)  
Kendor

Tom Matta has a couple of charts he did for Bill Reichenbach, and some  
for Charlie Vernon, I think you can get those from UNC Jazz

The Poet, by Mike Crotty

Making Whoopie, arr. by Dave Barduhn (Kendor?)

Stella By Starlight Johnny Richards/Stan Kenton (Sierra, most likely)


That should get you started!

and forgiveness. It is the icon of world peace, the herald of the new  
paradigm."
