Here is a transcription of the original (and best) Cute, as written by Neal Hefti for the Basie Band. It is not the 'standard' Hefti stock chart. The only change that has been made is to score the chart for a full 8 piece brass section. The brass plays in bucket mutes throughout. The flute solo has been assigned to alto 2 (as played by Frank Wess) though provided is an extra tenor 1 part which has the flute double, allowing your band some flexibility in case your alto player doesn't play flute. The 32 measure drum solo is to be improvised by your player, and Basie's little piano licks have been included that add so much to the brass lines. This chart is a must-have for all Basie lovers. Ranges: Trumpets 1-4: A5, E5, C5, A4; Trombones 1-4: F4, C4, A3, E3.
