Hi Manuel, please contact the management for your plans under this email: www1.wdr.de/orchester-und-chor/bigband/kontakt/index.html

Jorge, 🙏🙏🙏

That's difficult to say - you'll have to contact the inheritors of Francy Boland.

👍 Muchas gracias, Ibrahim!

Hi Cam! François "Francy" Boland, a Belgian pianist and arranger, arranged the piece by J. Schwartz. He passed away in 2005. We do not have the rights to sell the arrangement. You'll have to contact the publisher. .

​@@WDRBIGBANDThank you for the quick response! Sad to hear about his passing. His music is phenomenal. What publishing company should I contact?

Hi Cam! sorry, but we don`t know!

Thank you, David!

Thank you, Erani!

👍🙏

Mille gracie, Daniel!

Sorry, we are not allowed to give out sheet music. The arrangement was made by the late Francy Boland, so you will have to contact the publisher yourself.

Hi Philip! Hans wrote about his Cymbal Setup: I have several cymbals/setups that I use: Always a HiHat combo with 14' Paiste Soundedge 602 bottom and an Istanbul Agop ,not too thick 14' top or halt a Soundedge also from the 602 series of Paiste. For the HiHat is the Soundedge Bottom the secret tip . Above I was looking for the Istanbul replacement , but can be anything that is not too thick and heavy and sounds good. For the Jazz Big Band productions mostly a 18' K Zildjian Ride from the 70's or a Bosphorus 19' Jazz Ride from the very first series from the 90's. These are always on my left side. On the right side I have a 20' K Zildjian Ride with 2 rivets from the 70's same series as the 18'. Alternatively I also have 2 different A- Zildjians year I do not know exactly I think 50s , also both with rivets . Otherwise I have a Wuhan China with rivets , 22'. For more crisp productions(Latin,Pop,Funk etc.) I have a Pre aged K 20' from the 90's on the right side as a ride without rivets and also Various Crashes(Istanbul,Anatolian,Zildjian,Sabian 16-17 or 18'). I also have a 20' Istanbul Flatride. I must say that cymbals especially the ones I have chosen are all relatively hard to find, most have come to me through the years on the way, except the crashes of course....... What I always look for in the rides is that they also crash well (so they are pretty lively and not too thick and heavy). Especially in "China Town" I used my old K Zdjuans, Wuhan, the Istanbul Crash and his HiHats.

Hi Hans, Thank you for getting back to me. You’re a very musical player. I also have a number of old K cymbals from the 1960’s and 50’s. I also have some old A Zildjians from the 1960’s and then Sabians , recently I have falling in love with the different models from Istanbul Agop. The 30th Anniversary the Signature models, the Xist models which are very different especially their flat rides and other models. Thanks again for getting back to me . Greetings from New York.

Hi Philip! 👍

@@WDRBIGBAND Thanks a lot! So besides the 22" Wuhan there's no other 22" Ride in Hans' setup?

The German Drummer is a Dutch one! ;-). Hans Dekker.
