Free Scores from Darcy James Argue and Graham Collier's Book on Arranging

If you haven't checked out Darcy James Argue's Secret Society yet, go on over to his site.  He posts a lot of live recordings of his music, which is some of the most original I've heard in a while.

I just noticed tonight that he has two of his scores posted for free download: Desolation Sound and Transit.  I can't wait to dig into these...

He also seems to get get a lot of good discussions going.

Another thing that I'm excited about is Graham Collier's book, The Jazz Composer: Moving Music Off the Paper.  I'm hoping to be able to get this soon.  It looks like a much needed text that will delve more into the Ellington/Mingus/Evans school of writing and arranging!
