Rich DeRosa keeps this Count Basie signature tune swinging all the way and includes two optional tag endings to keep the Basie style intact. The solos are written out for piano, tenor sax, trumpet and trombone and the lead trumpet range is to written G on top of the staff with an A on the optional tag ending. Optional parts are included for expanded instrumentation. One of the Count's finest! 10028198 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . ME 52.00 He My Funny Valentine—Richard Rodgers/arr. Mike Smukal. Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart gave the jazz world this beautiful ballad, and arranger Mike Smukal sets it as a lush trumpet or flugelhorn solo feature. The entire solo is notated and can effectively be performed with no improvisation. It also features a wonderful double-time section with everything written out, easy ranges, some nice substitute chords and lush harmonies. This arrangement includes optional parts for flute, horn in F, baritone and tuba. This is an exceptional chart at an accessible level! Highly recommended! 10049705 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . ME 48.00 H Pennsylvania 6-5000—Jerry Gray/arr. John Berry. Here's a perfect touch of swing era nostalgia with this signature tune from the Glenn Miller Orchestra. All the elements of the original are here in this more accessible version including the famous sax melody, written trumpet and alto solos and, of course, full band vocals. A real crowd pleaser! 10028094 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . ME 45.00 H Perdido—Juan Tizol/arr. Victor Lopez. Mambo! Arranger Victor Lopez has masterfully intertwined a mambo and a swing feel in this great Juan Tizol jazz classic. Featuring a fully notated tenor sax solo, lead trumpet range to written A, a brief sax soli and lots of excitement throughout, this chart is pure fun to hear and play! Don't be "lost", play Perdido! Optional expanded instrumentation. 10093181 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . M 52.00 He Shiny Stockings—Frank Foster/arr. Greg Yasin- itsky. Frank Foster's composition Shiny Stockings is one of the greatest jazz tunes ever for big band. Arranged by Greg Yasinitsky and scored at an accessible level, this chart has all the ingredients you expect plus a few short section solis and an ensemble shout chorus. This arrangement stays very close to the original, yet is more accessible for developing groups. Other features include a written solo for 2nd trumpet with the lead trumpet range to written A above the staff. This Basie classic belongs in every jazz library! Highly recommended! Optional expanded instrumentation. 10071900 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . M 52.00 H Sing, Sing, Sing—Louis Prima/trans. Mike Lewis. Here it is...perhaps the most recognizable swing tune of all time! This incredible transcription is as close as you're going to come to the original (which included clarinet and less than a full compliment of brass). This chart is scored for a standard 5 saxes, 4 trumpets, 4 trombones and rhythm, but aside from that, it is the original as played by Benny Goodman. Every lick is there, including all the Gene Krupa drum breaks! This chart is a must for every big band's library! 2411486 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . M 60.00 e Stompin' at the Savoy—arr. Greg Yasinitsky. After the initial statement, Greg Yasinitsky gives this Benny Goodman treasure an updated and contemporary flair while remaining true to the original. It's all there in this exciting chart... nice dynamic contrasts, a stop-time section, a sax section soli, ensemble interludes, a written or improvised trumpet 2 solo, and it's all played around 168 bpm. The lead trumpet range is to written B-flat above the staff and optional parts are included for expanded instrumentations. Solid with proven appeal! 10513990 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . M 52.00 He Take the 'A' Train—Billy Strayhorn/arr. Vince Gassi. This chart swings all the way and is very playable by a young jazz ensemble. Arranger Vince Gassi offers a fresh take on this classic, yet captures the essence of this well-known Strayhorn composition made famous by Ellington. It's scored exactly right for younger players... not too difficult but with fun-to-play parts. With brief written solos for 1st alto sax and 1st trumpet, and easy ranges, it also has plenty of dynamics to teach. A superb chart you will play for years to come! Optional reduced or expanded instrumentation. 10066743 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . E 42.00 H Things Ain't What They Used to Be— Mercer Ellington/arr. Alan Baylock. Mercer Ellington's classic blues shuffle gets the Baylock treatment! The style is down home and the solos are for alto, trumpet, trombone, and tenor sax. Also included is a powerful Baylock-style shout chorus and optional parts for expanded instrumentations. It's a fun chart and it gets our highest recommendation! 10513911 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . M 52.00 JAZZ ENSEMBLE Outstanding New! SWING CHARTS Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum—Wayne Shorter/arr. Mark Taylor. From Wayne Shorter's influential 1964 album Speak No Evil, this jazz standard is transformed here for developing jazz bands by Mark Taylor. The relaxed swing feel and harmonies of the original are all retained, and solos for tenor sax and trumpet are included. 11172115 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 45.00 It Had to Be You—Isham Jones/arr. Mark Taylor. In classic Count Basie style, Mark Taylor's well-crafted arrangement of this familiar standard is set in a medium-slow swing style and features the full ensemble perfectly scored to sound rich and full. In contrast, a short piano solo is interspersed that can be played as written or ad lib. A great change of pace for contest or festival! 11171986 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .M 55.00 Jumpin' at the Woodside—Count Basie/arr. Mark Taylor. Here is Count Basie's famous up-tempo classic carefully scaled back for younger players. Featuring the saxes on the head accompanied by the signature brass stabs, this excellent chart still has the feel and style of the original. The written or improvised solo sections can also be treated as duet features, first for alto sax and trumpet, then for tenor sax and trombone. And, it's playable with optional expanded or reduced instrumentations. Play it like Basie! 11172135 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . E 40.00 Mack the Knife—Kurt Weill/arr. Rick Stitzel. Famously recorded by both Louis Armstrong and Bobby Darin in the 1950s, this iconic standard has remained popular through the decades and has been recorded by countless jazz artists.

VE 40.00 Shorty George—Count Basie & Andy Gibson/arr. Michael Sweeney. This early Count Basie classic is an excellent vehicle for teaching traditional Basie style to younger groups. With options for reduced or expanded instrumentation, this medium swinger features the sax section as well as written or improvised solos for trumpet and tenor sax. 11172127 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . E 40.00 Solar—Miles Davis/arr. John Wasson. From his early "cool" period, this Miles Davis standard is arranged here in a contemporary setting featuring alto sax and flugelhorn on the melody. Solo space is provided for each, and a full-band soli treatment rounds out this superb chart. 11171982 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .M 55.00 Swing charts are still favorites of jazz bands everywhere. Wayne Shorter, Miles Davis and Count Basie are but a few of the artists that made these tunes famous.
