Just Friends (S.Nestico)

“Just Friends (S.Nestico)” is a medium-difficulty big band arrangement credited to Count Basie, with Sammy Nestico listed as the original composer. The catalog record identifies the work by its title and credits without specifying a musical style, so no stylistic classification is assigned here. The arrangement is documented at 39 pages and includes confirmed individual parts for the listed ensemble materials. The instrumentation covers Alto Sax, Tenor Sax, Baritone Sax, Trumpet, Trombone, Piano, Bass, Drums, and Vocals, providing a practical reference for directors, librarians, and players reviewing ensemble requirements. The catalog metadata confirms a big band format and a nine-part instrument listing, while leaving the presence of a conductor score unconfirmed. This entry is therefore best used to establish the credited creators, documented page count, ensemble type, difficulty level, and available instrument coverage. Players and directors can use the instrumentation list to check personnel and section needs before rehearsal planning. Because the style is not specified in the supplied metadata, the title should be evaluated through the arrangement itself rather than through an assumed genre label. The 39-page length refers to the documented catalog extent and should be considered alongside the confirmed individual parts when organizing materials for the ensemble. This is a medium-difficulty Big Band arrangement with confirmed individual parts. The listed instrumentation comprises Alto Sax, Tenor Sax, Baritone Sax, Trumpet, Trombone, Piano, Bass, Drums, and Vocals. The catalog records 39 pages.
