CLEAN AND ACCURATE CHART
This is the STEVE LAWRENCE classic "THE GOOD LIFE."  I've played this chart with a band and it's perfect. This is a hand written transcription that is totally accurate to the NELSON RIDDLE arrangement of the recording.

There is no conductor part: Vocal, 5 saxes, 4 trumpets, 4 trombones, bass, piano/guitar (1 part used by both) and drums.
The chart is on standard letter size paper. Key of Ab
PRINTED ON 98 BRIGHT / 24 LB. PAPER!!
Some buyers
have asked me to explain how to turn these letter size charts into 9 ½ by 12 ½
inch charts on heavy stock paper. This makes it easier for the musicians and makes you look like a pro. Then you store these in a file as your back-up should anyone put them in the wrong book at a gig or rehearsal, which they will.
So here’s what you do:
Go to an
industrial paper store
and pick a
heavy bond paper
. Pick a white or ivory. They sell in reams of 500 and measure
11 by 17
.
Then have them cut it to the
9 ½ by 12 ½.
If they don’t do it there find a print shop and they will, it’s very cheap.
Now you can go to a printer with your heavy paper and master chart who will do it for you. Some will even tape the pages.
Or
, what I did was do it myself by going to any copy center like Kinkos or whatever. Bring the paper and charts with you and they’ll show you how to you the custom paper feed and make the settings to produce the finished larger copy.
Finally I use
strapping tape
(the kind with fabric in it) to tape the finished larger chart pages together and it lasts forever. Trust me, I used to spend a lot of time re-taping charts, not anymore or ever.
It’s easy once you get it down, and fun to do as well. Plus the band will thank-you by playing better because they’re not squinting and futzing around with small charts. And…you’ll look like a pro.
