[Trombone-l] Quartet/Octet (or whatever comes between) charts

[Stuart Collidge]

I've, on occasion, found Manhattan Transfer arrangements done for choral 
groups, so search the libraries of Warner Bros and Hal Leonard to start 
with.  That way, you only have to spend $20 for a set of 4 parts.  Some of 
them even come with arranged rhythm section parts IIRC.

PS Used to live in Sydney, but have migrated south to the lovely city of 
Melbourne.  Any Melbourne based players looking for a dep or someone to sit 
in for a rehearsal band can catch me at scollidge1 at optusnet.com.au
