Ballads
4 Remembering Thad—George Shutack. Paying
tribute to the great Thad Jones, this expressive
ballad with rich harmonies and flowing lines
provides a perfect showcase for flugelhorn or
trumpet. The beautiful melody is supported by
a lush harmonic pad, and the lyrical solo part is
entirely written with no improvisation required.
Playable with optional reduced or expanded
instrumentations, Remembering Thad is
accessible, yet sophisticated!

H 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.

Skyfall—Adkins & Epworth/arr. John Berry.
Perfectly capturing the mood and style of earlier
James Bond themes, Adele has worked her
magic with the hit Skyfall. John Berry's easy
version features a brief written alto sax solo, then
solid scoring for the entire ensemble with the
melody traded between the saxes and trumpets.
Playable with optional reduced or expanded
instrumentations, this is sure to be an audience
favorite! Highly recommended!

4 Tomorrow Is Always a Good Day—Paul
Clark. Tomorrow Is Always a Good Day is a
sensational ballad feature for solo trombone or
tenor saxophone. This lovely composition begins
in a minor key, keeps building to a modulation to
major, then builds to a huge, powerful finish! The
features include an impressive and accessible
solo part, full and lush ensemble support, and
an effective ensemble-only interlude. Truly a
memorable chart at this or any grade level!
Highly recommended!

arr. Rick Stitzel. Giving your beginning band great

stood the test of time. This very playable version
is nicely scored where each section gets a piece
of the melody.Very highly recommended!

Stitzel. One of the all-time great songs from the

day standard! This well scored arrangement for
young jazz ensembles features a brief tenor solo,
beautiful counterlines, and an overall rich sound
that will be impressive in concert or as a change
of pace chart for festivals. Suggested solo and
