I bought these charts and some other gear from Mikki, Rich Matteson’s widow, one or two years after he passed, and have played almost all of these with bands. I selected charts based on some great well known tunes, one he wrote for Mikki, and a couple for young bands, including one by his friend and colleague guitarist Jack Petersen.

The parts are in very good to excellent condition for their age, stored flat, I think free of marks, full rhythm section. (When working with bands, I used copies I had made, and took back at the end of performance, and long ago destroyed). They are printed manuscript on 9” by 13” heavier paper (or light card stock), except for maybe one guitar part and a solo part that Mikki only had an 8.5 x 11 copy.

Some come with Rich’s 3-line conductor score, others have a full score (20 staves). Some even arranged with 5 trumpets or 5 ‘bones. Rich’s scores might sketch his solo lines, because he knew his part! like his intro to Don’t Get Around Much Anymore.

Charts for Young Big Bands
Don’t Rush the Count by Matteson
This is a big band arrangement. Rich created some jazz rhythm and articulation training exercises, with some instructional material. And in the end, the band plays the full big band arrangement that incorporates those rhythms.

I think you might pay $60 per chart published by Hal Leonard or Gordon Goodwin, so I think I’m priced right, but feel free to make an offer for the collection.

Yeah, I’d like to sell the collection rather than part out. And I’m not a business, so if it took time to arrange payment from a school or institution, I’m willing to take a little time to work with the right buyer to make that happen.

Most of all, I hope these get performed!

PM me, if you’re interested, and I can take more pics to show the condition.
