BALLADS
e Here's That Rainy Day—Jimmy Van Heusen/arr.
Rick Stitzel. This beautiful and iconic jazz ballad
from the 1940s is a study in flowing phrases and
lush harmonies. Rick Stitzel's setting for younger
players focuses on the full ensemble along with
brief written or improvised solos for alto sax and
trumpet. Additional features include suggested
solos, chord/scale sheets in all keys, and written-
out bass lines and piano voicings. Plus, it's
playable with optional reduced or augmented
instrumentations. Highly recommended!

l I Want It That Way—arr. John Berry. Recorded
by the Backstreet Boys in 1999, this enduring hit
was hailed by critics as the pop ballad of that year.
With the melody skillfully passed from section to
section, this arrangement goes together quickly,
requires no solos, and is playable with optional
reduced or expanded instrumentations.

He Li'l Darlin'—Neal Hefti. Composed and arranged
by Neal Hefti, this is the original chart that says
just about everything there is to say about relaxed,
laid-back swing! No good jazz library is complete
without this incredibly good chart!

Lush Life—Billy Strayhorn/arr. Mike Kamuf.
Lush Life is one of the finest ballads ever by a
brilliant composer and gifted arranger. As played
at around 88 bpm and moving into a double-time
bossa section leading into the finale, you'll enjoy
every measure of this excellent chart. The solos
are only on the written melody for alto saxophone
and trumpet with no improvisation. Included is
an optional vibes part and optional wind parts for
expanded instrumentations. You'll love this chart!

He Misty—Erroll Garner/arr. Terry White. Perhaps one
of the most familiar jazz standards of all time, this
easy but effective chart has a laid-back swing feel.
The tempo is 90 bpm with written solos for alto 1
and trumpet 1, and the lead trumpet range goes up
to written E-flat top space. It's also playable with
optional reduced or expanded instrumentations.
This chart delivers!

H What a Wonderful World—Douglas & Weiss/
arr. Rick Stitzel. Giving your beginning band great
tunes like this to play will turn them on to jazz
forever! You just can't beat the appeal of the tune
Louis Armstrong made so famous, and it's surely
stood the test of time. This very playable version is
nicely scored where each section gets a piece of
the melody.Very highly recommended!
