Arranging tips.

Hi! Yesterday in class we were improvising on a couple of new tunes like Bouncing with Bud and Desafinado and we discussed about the nice it would be to write some arrangement for the band, or even just some harmonizations and backgrounds for the horns. I think that the subject of arranging is very complicated and there is the needs of a teacher to fully learn the techniques of this art. But you guys can check a couple of books that I found very helpful in my formative years, they are simple and very clear. Enjoy!
