The Four Note Boogaloo—Daryl McKenzie.
The Four Note Boogaloo is a fun chart for a grooving
rhythm section with a melody featuring a small
jazz combo horn section of alto sax, tenor sax and
trombone in the "A" section. There's also ample
opportunities for full ensemble playing in this popular
style. In the "B" section the saxes and bass play
unison counterpoint against the brass. As the title
suggests, both sections are based around four-note
motives. There are no solos other than a section
allowing the drummer to solo or simply play a great
groove. Plus, it's playable with optional reduced or
expanded instrumentations. Solid and accessible!

Go Big or Go Home—Dean Sorenson. A funky
groove is a great way to introduce accessible 16th-
note rhythms. This fun rocker includes unison and
clear articulations, meaning that everyone learns
together. The open solo section allows any player to
improvise using the included scale sheets or to solo
with the suggested solos in all parts. The drummer
has some solo space too! With its completely flexible
instrumentation, it is playable by only four players
plus rhythm section on up to expanded jazz band.
Your young jazzers will go big with this fun chart!

Groovin' Kat—Victor Lopez. This original and
exciting composition is designed to give young
ensembles the authentic sound that is heard in some
of today's commercial music. Blending both the Latin
and rock genres, with lots of unison lines and a solid
groove, this chart is easy to teach and fun to learn.
Additionally, it's playable with optional reduced or
expanded instrumentations. It can also work just as
well at a slower tempo. An excellent program choice
for all occasions, and a great chart for beginning
jazz students to start learning improvisation with its
two measure solos that include written solos or easy
changes. Highly recommended!

Came Upon a Midnight Clear will be a hit on any
Christmas or winter concert! The melodies are

punchy brass support. The change-of-pace middle
section is established by the insistent tom-tom
rhythm (a la Krupa), while the band builds up the
riffs to a powerful climax. Included suggested solos
along with modest solo changes will encourage
