Swing. Composed by Oliver Nelson. Sheet music. Score and parts. Handelsware #SMP 1248. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-1248).

As recorded by the Oliver Nelson Orchestra on their album Berlin Dialogue for Orchestra, "Checkpoint Charlie" is some of Nelson's most creative writing. Full of up-tempo energy, Oliver masterfully intertwines the melody in the saxophones with counter-lines from the brass to create an incredible tapestry of sound. There is plenty of solo space for trombone to stretch out, giving a great contrast from the full ensemble sections to the lone soloist with rhythm section. This "pro" version is exactly as Oliver Nelson's recorded version. 5-4-4-3.
