Small combo arrangements?

Some friends and I are forming a small combo--piano, drums, guitar and me on upright bass. We are playing for civic meetings, dinner music, community events, and currently are playing from C Fake Books. However, we would like to find some more formal arrangements for small combos--standards and easy listening. Anyone know where we can order or purchase such?

Just cook some up yourself.

If I am having trouble getting started I refer to good old iTunes. I'll take any given standard. I'll search it in iTunes and listen to as many arrangements as I can find to get some ideas. Then off to the races. I hardly ever transcribe someone else's arrangement but rather use the ideas as a jumping off point.

Good luck.
