POP CHARTS
e Knock on Wood—arr. Paul Murtha. Although
originally recorded by Eddie Floyd in 1966, Knock
on Wood has remained popular thanks to covers
by artists such as Otis Redding, David Bowie,
and Eric Clapton. Featuring powerful and solid
scoring, this dynamic version for developing
players has a brief written or ad lib solo for alto sax
and is based on the swing-shuffle hit recorded by
Amii Stewart in 1979. Highly recommended!

e Land of Make Believe—Chuck Mangione/arr.
Mike Story. Chuck Mangione's hit Land of Make-
Believe is now available for younger players!
Opening with the melody doubled by alto sax
and trumpet in a dramatic, slow tempo, the chart
then breaks into the familiar melody, style and
tempo. Plus, there's a drum solo instead of the
improvised trumpet solo making it even more
accessible for young players. The ranges are very
easy and the rhythms are slightly tricky but will
lock in with repetition. A superb chart that will
really come together and be a huge success!

ensemble gives each section a feature spot on
the melody, interspersed with the full band on the

scale/chord sheets in all keys. Pure excitement!

e The Shadow of Your Smile—Johnny Mandel/
arr. Roy Phillippe. Every now and then it comes
along, a ballad so hauntingly beautiful that it
may just be the highlight of your concert! This is
one such gem. After a solo piano introduction,
the familiar minor melody is gently taken up by
the band. Alto sax and trumpet both get solo
passages but, for the most part, it is the ensemble
effort that makes this chart one of the best.
