About Roland "Roy" Stefani... PDS Music features the oustanding 6 and 9-piece band arrangements written by jazz trombonist Roland "Roy" Stefani (1925-1991), one of the "best-kept" secrets on the national music scene for years. He started his professional jazz arranging career at the early age of eighteen-years old, influenced by the likes of Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Woody Herman, Stan Kenton, Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Benny Goodman, and many others. One of the most unique aspects of Stefani's arrangements was his uncanny way of creating a "big band" sound out of a relatively small ensemble, making his work especially attractive and endearing to bandleaders the world over, years after his untimely passing in the early nineties. It is with great pride that PDS Music continues to make these charts available, extending the fine contributions of this brilliant arranger and composer! Endorsements...
