Oleo (M.Abene)

“Oleo (M.Abene)” is cataloged as a big band arrangement credited to arranger Maynard Ferguson, with Sonny Rollins identified as the original composer. The catalog metadata does not specify a style, so this entry leaves that field open rather than assigning a stylistic label. The arrangement is documented for an advanced ensemble and includes eight listed instruments or parts: Alto Sax, Tenor Sax, Baritone Sax, Trumpet, Trombone, Piano, Bass, and Drums. The recorded length is 143 pages. Individual parts are confirmed in the catalog metadata, providing a practical reference for ensembles organizing the available materials by section and rhythm-section role. A conductor score is not confirmed, so the catalog should not be read as verification that a full score is included. The instrument listing indicates coverage for saxophones, brass, piano, bass, and drums, while the ensemble designation identifies the work as intended for Big Band performance. For working musicians, this entry is most useful as a clear guide to the credited arrangement, source composition, ensemble type, documented instrumentation, page count, and difficulty level. Because no style, score status, or additional performance details are verified, those aspects are intentionally not characterized here.
