While the rest of us were worrying about 'Y2K' a group of talented friends were worrying about the future of music as we know it.The year was 1999 and Denver Bierman and his merry band of musicians that would come to be known as the Mile High Orchestra were putting together an act that would take them literally to the ends of the earth. The group of Belmont University students took the music they loved and combined it with a hot, pop style, mixed in a slick tight stage show and took it on the road.Blending a red hot horn section, along with jazz and big band roots, Denver and the Mile High Orchestra have created a sound that is unlike any other. With Denver Bierman, writing and arranging the band's music, the diverse sounds of legends such as Stevie Wonder, Chicago, and Earth Wind and Fire combine for a fresh look at contemporary pop. The rest, as they say, is history.Andrew MeronekAndrew is a a trombonist, composer, and music instructor.

Our StoryWe here at Jazzcharts.net are full time working jazz musicians, jazz educators, jazz composers and publishers.

We are often asked to adjudicate high school jazz festivals where we offer up our expertise about the performance of this great art form. In our opinion, the biggest thing working against most high school jazz bands is not the talent of the individual players, but the music that they are performing. Most of the music, in our experience, is either too hard, too easy, and harmonically, rhythmically, and melodically unimaginative. This does a disservice to your audience as well as your students/fellow musicians.Inside this website, you’ll find music that swings, grooves, has depth, and is playable by bands of any level.

No longer will you have to sacrifice the sound of your band to accommodate charts that are written without the jazz tradition in mind. We also make sure that no chart goes out without the proper attention to formatting and editing. This ensures that our music will be played exactly as the composer intended it the first time your band reads it.Also, you may notice that we don’t keep a huge catalog of jazz charts. This is because we believe that keeping fewer high quality charts is better than having thousands of charts with a few “keepers” in the mix.
