Swingin' Shepherd Blues (M.Collins)

“Swingin' Shepherd Blues (M.Collins)” is a big band sheet music arrangement credited to Myles Collins, based on the original composition by Moe Koffman. The catalog metadata does not specify a musical style beyond the title and ensemble classification, so this entry avoids assigning an additional style label. The arrangement is documented at medium difficulty and is listed as 23 pages in length. The confirmed instrumentation comprises nine listed instruments or parts: Alto Sax, Tenor Sax, Baritone Sax, Trumpet, Trombone, Piano, Guitar, Bass, and Drums. This provides a practical reference for ensembles checking section coverage before rehearsal. Individual parts are confirmed as included in the catalog record. A conductor score is not confirmed, so the listing does not represent one as part of the documented contents. For musicians and librarians, the title, arranger, original composer, ensemble, page count, difficulty, and instrument list offer the key identification points for this arrangement. The parenthetical “M.Collins” is retained as part of the catalog title, while Myles Collins is separately identified as the arranger. Because no further information is verified about performance history, musical treatment, tempo, key, duration, or featured passages, those details are intentionally not described here.
