H Arnge Drank—Paul Baker. Wow... orange drink
with an attitude! Texas writer Paul Baker presents
an outstanding funk chart beginning with a
piano riff to set up the rhythm groove before the
trumpet and altos hit with the melody. Trombones
and low saxes support with counterpoint. After
the trombones take it through the bridge the
saxes again state the melody in a dramatic
stop time section that moves into the trumpet
and trombone solos. After a drum solo, the bari
and bass trombone shine as they set the funky
foundation for the shout chorus. A return of the
piano riff sets up the final melodic statement
and dramatic coda. Trumpet range to written
High C. Trombone to G. Pure fun, and highly
recommended!

H Birdland—Josef Zawinul/arr. Victor Lopez. Just
listen to this chart and you know you have to have
it as Victor Lopez brings the original Weather
Report version to life for jazz ensembles. All the
ingredients are here, plus solo space (written
or improvised) for alto 1 and/or trumpet 2, nice
chord voicings throughout, and the lead trumpet
top note is only a written G on top of the staff. Very
easy to assemble and perform, this will be a hit
every time! Optional expanded instrumentation.

The Chicken—Alfred James Ellis/arr. Kris
Berg. If you've got a strong bassist, this is your
showstopper! This chart, made famous by bass
virtuoso Jaco Pastorius, gets kicking with a killer
gospel chorale, but is soon interrupted by one
of the funkiest bass lines ever played! Soon the
entire band is in on it with a Tower of Power-style
sound that is sure to impress everyone listening!

Coconut Champagne—Denis DiBlasio/arr.
Victor Lopez. Victor Lopez' arrangement of this
great tune by Denis DiBlasio is a more accessible
version than the original. At a medium grade level
with an upbeat samba groove, everybody gets
some action with the classic Maynard Ferguson
trumpet solo harmonized for the trumpet section
in a playable range. There is a sax section soli that
can also be a solo for bari sax or any saxophone.
An optional percussion part will complete the
package. You'll dig this chart...it soars, it excites!

Feeling Good—Bricusse & Newley/arr. Roger
Holmes. From the Broadway musical "The Roar
of the Greasepaint - The Smell of the Crowd,"
this fabulous standard is popular again with a
stunning rendition by Michael Buble. Capturing
the bluesy flavor of this version, here is a vocal
solo feature sure to bring down the house. It
can also be used as an alto sax feature. Highly
recommended! Vocal in C minor.

Honk—Jeff Jarvis. Ever since the widespread
popularity of the Jeff Jarvis funk original Critical
Mass, requests for a sequel have been pouring
in. At last, Jeff has composed and arranged
Honk, with all the characteristics that made its
predecessor such a hit with jazz ensembles,
only at a slightly more accessible level. Like
Critical Mass, Honk begins with a cool sax
section introduction, clearly placing your baritone
saxophonist in the limelight, but without excessive
technical demands. Everyone has interesting and
challenging parts to play throughout and the
modulation near the end gives it an extra, added
lift. The solos are open and the backgrounds can
be varied by instrumentation. This one is hot from
beginning to end! Very highly recommended!

Moanin'—Charles Mingus/arr. Andrew Homzy.
Here's a playable yet very effective arrangement
of this signature Mingus composition. The familiar
baritone sax riff is handled by three saxes, and
there is also a substantial soli for the entire
saxophone section. Optional parts are included
for flute, clarinet and French horn. A terrific
introduction to the genius of Mingus!

Out of the Doghouse—Erik Morales. Arranger/
composer Erik Morales delivers! This outstanding
shuffle chart sounds like a big old freight train
coming down the tracks, and it just builds and
builds! There's a wonderful section after the
optional solos that features a powerful sax soli
without the rhythm section, and there are great
breaks for piano and drums throughout. There
are also some independent bari sax lines and
optional written solos for alto, tenor and guitar.
The lead trumpet range is to written A above the
staff and there's an optional ending with lead
trumpet notes up to C. This is a hot chart! Our
highest recommendation! Optional expanded
instrumentation.

H Sir Duke—Stevie Wonder/arr. Michael Mossman.
In 1977 Stevie Wonder was in his prime and Sir
Duke was on top of the charts. Michael Philip
Mossman takes this familiar hit and adds his own
unique touch. The opening features the brass
with sax section fills. The middle section goes
into a double-time swing and includes a solo for
tenor sax, a soli for the saxes, and a drum break.
All the familiar lines from the original are there too!
Suggested solos are included along with scale/
chord sheets in all keys. Highly recommended!

Spain—Chick Corea/arr. Paul Jennings. Paul
Jennings' masterful arrangement from 1982
has stood the test of time and sounds as fresh
today as it did when it was written. The authentic
sounds of Chick Corea's classic are faithfully
captured - and this new edition, notated in cut
time rather than 4/4, makes it much easier to
read. A real gem for every jazz ensemble!

H Work Song—Nat Adderley/arr. Erik Morales.
Wow! If Nat Adderley could hear this chart on his
iconic jazz standard, he would be pleased! The
first statement stays very close to the original,
which is a good thing. The solos are for written
or improvised alto and trumpet, and the solo
backgrounds are simply wonderful. This swinger
plays well at about 176 bmp, has excellent full-
ensemble passages, a bari sax and rhythm
section break before the last chorus, an exciting
shout chorus, and great development. This chart
has it all! Our highest recommendation!

H Armando's Rhumba—Chick Corea/arr. Mike
Tomaro. From Chick Corea's My Spanish Heart
album, this tune is not really a "rhumba," but
rather an extremely energetic samba. This chart
features dynamic and challenging passages for
the entire ensemble and also ample room for
soloists. Nice chart!

Caravan—Duke Ellington/arr. John Wasson.
Recently featured in the motion picture
"Whiplash," this barnburner by outstanding
arranger John Wasson is pure Latin fire from
start to finish! This chart will have your students
begging to practice. With the opportunity for an
extended alto sax solo, this Rolls Royce of an
arrangement is definitely top-notch!

El Abrazo—Alan Baylock. The beautiful ballad
beginning and ending in this Alan Baylock original
will bring tears to your eyes. The chart then
moves to an exciting samba around 110 bpm
for the half note with occasional swing sections
interspersed. The lead trumpet range is to written
high C and there is an extended tenor sax solo
with chord changes. You won't forget this chart,
it's special in every way. A truly stunning chart,
this one will provide plenty of opportunities for
your band to shine - it's the perfect festival chart.
Highly recommended!

Here is a sizzling Afro-Cuban version of this Chick

but the flexible solo section allows other players
to be featured as well. Highly recommended!

H La Suerte de los Tontos—Johnny Richards/
arr. Victor Lopez. Victor Lopez, who knows
the Latin idiom inside and out, has given us
a powerhouse 6/8 Latin chart that will make
your ensemble sound like the Kenton Band. It's
majestic, powerful and noble and includes written
solo space for tenor sax and an optional Latin
percussion part. Optional parts are included for
flute, horn in F, baritone/tenor sax and tuba. This
is a "must-have" chart with pure excitement from
beginning to end!

H Moanin'—Charles Mingus/arr. Sy Johnson. This
is an awesome Mingus double-time swing chart
in the original version as recorded on the Mingus
Big Band 93 CD. It kicks off with a hot bari sax
intro, features some really tight licks, an extended
open solo section, and an infectious bari sax line
that drives the whole piece. Serious jazz for
serious bands!
