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.

Pick Up the Pieces—arr. Victor Lopez. It's
funk/rock... you know it, you love it! The tune is
infectious, the arrangement is right on target
with no individual solos but plenty of section and
ensemble work. The sax soli is crazy hot and the
lead trumpet range is to written A above the staff.
Lots of unison lines, some fun bari sax licks and
a very hip stop-time interlude that really cooks.
This arrangement really works for this tune!
Consider this chart a winner! Optional expanded
instrumentation.

Sabor de Cuba (Taste of Cuba)—Victor
Lopez. Looking for a hot Latin chart? This
Victor Lopez original is very hot indeed. It's an
Afro-Cuban show-stopper that's jam-packed
with lines that bounce section to section, then
a suggested tenor sax solo with backgrounds.
The lead trumpet range is to written A above
the staff with an optional high D. There are two
auxiliary percussion parts included that really
make this chart come alive, plus optional flute and
vibraphone parts. You'll want to play this highly
recommended chart!

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!

Take Five—Paul Desmond/arr. Rich DeRosa.
Perhaps the most famous time chart of all, Take
Five is in 5/4 - but the rhythmic pattern is clear and
consistent throughout. You'll find this arrangement
very accessible, with easy alto sax and drum solos
plus modest brass ranges. This chart features a
more laid-back style than the original and is sure
to be just as important today as was in the 1960s.
Recommended for every jazz enthusiast!

bpm. There's a written or ad lib tenor sax solo
provided, the lead trumpet range is to written C

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!

Well You Needn't—Thelonious Monk/arr. Mike
Kamuf. This chart kicks! It's a shuffle at around
166 bpm and is a feature for two tenor saxes. This
is not a duel, but a vehicle to showcase both tenor
players. Sample tenor solos are provided, the lead
trumpet range is to written high C-sharp, there's a
great sax soli and a roaring shout chorus. Optional
parts are included for expanded instrumentations.
Pure excitement and great for festivals!

Whiplash—Hank Levy/arr. Erik Morales.
Featured in the 2014 movie "Whiplash," depicting
the relationship between an ambitious student
musician and an abusive, yet respected instructor,
this chart is a super-exciting work in 7/4 composed
by Hank Levy and arranged by Erik Morales. Don't
be intimidated by the meter... it's challenging, but
after a few minutes it feels quite natural and the
students will totally groove on it. The melody is
stated by 2nd trumpet and 1st alto with solo space
for both on easy chord changes. Articulation is
critical and the rhythm section may want to spend
some quality time together. The lead trumpet
range is to written D above the staff. This is a
unique but very desirable chart to have in your
library. You won't regret playing Whiplash!

PATRIOTIC SELECTIONS
American Patrol—arr. Mike Lewis. Glenn Miller's band made this a huge World War II hit
song and here it is scored for young players. This chart has no individual solos, very modest brass
ranges and plenty of ensemble sound. Easy to rehearse and perform, it swings right along and is
playable with optional reduced or expanded instrumentation. A winner!

The Star Spangled Banner—arr. Paul Clark. Although this piece is not usually associated
with jazz bands, this arrangement works so well it can appropriately be included in any jazz
concert. It's also invaluable to have in the files for those "emergency" situations where a jazz group
is called upon to perform our National Anthem. It includes just the right elements to give it a jazz
flavor, yet maintains the dignity and reverence of the original. While it is harmonically jazzy, it is
rhythmically traditional and can serve as accompaniment for audience singing. It is also playable
with reduced instrumentation. If your jazz ensemble plays for basketball games, this is perfect.
A wise investment for all jazz programs! Highly recommended!
