I think it is a difficuilt mission to find a good brass arrange by try and error. So I´d be grateful for some hints, which would be a good book with audio demos oder a good site to study.
What is a good site to get sheets of Big Band arrangements?

My pleasure!
Make sure to select the revised version of the treatise. Richard Strauss knows a thing or two about the subject.
Hello Felix,
Berlioz/Strauss is a good base indeed, but actually more for instrumentation of classical music. If you looking for a guide to learn more about Big Band Arrangements I recommend "bill dobbins: jazz arranging and composing" or as well as good "sammy nestico: the complete arranger" (german title: Der professionelle Arrangeur") . AKAIK these are the most common books for those stuff. Hope this helps!
Best
Frank
