FEATURES
H Back in Time—Pat Metheny/

Bye, Bye Blackbird—arr. Dave Rivello.
Arranger Dave Rivello arranged this great tune in a
nice and easy, relaxed, swing genre to showcase
the 2nd trumpet in the style of Miles Davis.
Featuring the trademark Miles' harmon mute sound
throughout the chart, Dave provides a written (or
ad lib) solo, tasty backgrounds and a very hip shout
chorus for medium level players. The arrangement
is sensitive to the quietness of the harmon muted
trumpet sound. Feature your young trumpet star on
this one and have a "cool" moment in your concert!
Highly recommended!

Feels So Good—Chuck Mangione/
arr. Victor Lopez.
Only rarely does a jazz tune
cross over to the pop charts the way this Chuck
Mangione classic did back in the seventies!
Flugelhorn solo on the 1st trumpet part is featured
throughout with the distinctive melody and then with
a written or ad lib solo along with a tenor solo. The
flugelhorn solo range is up to an optional written high
C, but the solo is cued on the 1st tenor part as well.
Victor's arrangement brings this contemporary gem
within the range of the developing trumpet player
without losing any of the hip appeal of the original.
Here's a perennially appealing, samba/rock chart that
will provide outstanding performance opportunities
for your band and soloist! Highly recommended!

Based on the version recorded
by Clifford Brown accompanied by strings, this
marvelous ballad from 1930 provides trumpet or
flugel soloists the perfect opportunity to showcase
their lyrical chops. The written solo part features a
modest range and sample phrases adapted directly

with everything written out, easy ranges, some
nice substitute chords and lush harmonies. This

The Nearness of You—Hoagy Carmichael/
arr. Mark Taylor. Although the first hit recording
of this enduring standard was by the Glenn Miller
Orchestra in 1940, Hoagy Carmichael's The
Nearness of You has remained popular through the
ages with recordings by countless performers. Set
here as a solo feature for flugelhorn or trumpet, the
soft Latin/ballad style and lush accompaniment
parts help make this one particularly attractive.
The solo is completely written, and the soloist can
improvise around the melody if desired. Here is an
ideal way to feature an emerging soloist!

tons of jazz substance! Arranger Dave Rivello
captures the distinctive "Miles Davis-Harmon Mute"
sound in this outstanding chart that features both the

Tonight, We Tango—Rick Hirsch. You can't
help but smile when you play and hear Tonight, We
Tango. At around 112 bpm, this tongue-in-cheek
chart is tons of fun and has a melody that just
won't go away, plus the groove is one that people
will insist on dancing to. It was arranged to feature
Grammy-nominated accordionist Alex Meixner, but
in the event you don't have an accordionist in the
band (really?), you can feature any of your sauciest
players on the optional B-flat, E-flat and Bass Clef
solo parts. The solo parts are a combination of
written passages and improvised choruses that will
demonstrate the versatility of your ensemble. Nice!

lyrical melody, the solo part is written with options

In Your Dreams...—Paul Clark. In Your
Dreams... is an exceptional ballad feature for solo
trombone or tenor saxophone. The rhythmic and
technical demands are minimal allowing rehearsal
time to focus on musicality and interpretation. The
solo part and the rhythm section parts are fully-
notated, and frequent trading off between the soloist
and band will help limit fatigue. You'll get big returns
on very little investment of time with this outstanding
ballad. Lovely!

Spring Can Really Hang You Up the
Most—Tommy Wolf/arr. Kris Berg.
Here's an
outstanding Kenton-style ballad that showcases the
lead trombone and the trombone section. The chart
builds during a 12/8 section that makes it an even
stronger choice as an excellent ballad feature. There
are no improvised solos and lead trumpet range is
to written C above the staff with an optional D sharp.
This one is a wonderful jazz ballad with a twist!

Tomorrow Is Always a Good Day—

sensational ballad feature for solo trombone or tenor
saxophone. This lovely composition begins in a
minor key, keeps building to a modulation to major,
then builds to a huge, powerful finish! The features
include an impressive and accessible solo part,
full and lush ensemble support, and an effective
ensemble-only interlude. Truly a memorable chart at
this or any grade level! Highly recommended!

SOLO FEATURES
4 After the Rain—Larry Neeck. This powerful
rock ballad, with its blues-tinged melodic
and harmonic structure, is a great feature for
developing alto saxophone or trumpet soloists
throughout. The solo part is entirely notated with
no improvisation requirements. Additionally, it
features a big, full sound for the entire ensemble.
After the Rain is the perfect choice for that change-
of-pace moment in any program. All this, and it's
playable with optional reduced instrumentation.
Our highest recommendation!
