Blues & Swing advanced
n JuggernautAndrew Neu. Yep, here's a
shuffle with snap! Juggernaut is a medium-tempo
shuffle chart that begins with a big, flashy intro,
transitioning to a hot sax soli and then a statement
by the brass. Throughout the work, the saxes get
a workout, supported by cleverly written brass
parts. Solo space is provided for alto sax, tenor
sax, trumpet, and trombone, and a rhythm section
player could also solo during the open section. A
drum break and fills takes it to a rousing ensemble
finish making this perfect as a closer or opener.
Very highly recommended!

l Ku-Damm (From the Impressions of Berlin
Suite)Oliver Nelson/ed. Bob Curnow. As
recorded by the Oliver Nelson Orchestra, Ku-Damm
is the first movement of the Impressions of Berlin
suite. Based on the blues, as so much of Nelson's
music was, this bright swing with a waltz feel in
6/4 begins with an aggressive line for woodwind
doubles and adds to its intensity with the entrance
of the trumpets a short while later. With solo space
for alto saxophone, trombone and piano, this lively,
moving composition is sure to bring an exciting
contrast to any program! An optional fifth trombone
part is included.

Life in the BubbleGordon Goodwin. You don't
want to miss this title track chart from Gordon
Goodwin and the Big Phat Band's latest CD! Your
advanced jazz ensemble will groove at around
96 bpm with swing sixteenths and solo space
provided for all saxes, trumpet 3, and trombone
1. The lead trumpet range is up to written high G,
there is soprano sax lead and a few modulations.
Yeah, it's got some tricky spots, but it's worth the
work. 2015 Grammy winner for Large Ensemble!
Highly recommended!

n MachineBill Reddie. Recorded by the Buddy
Rich Big Band on both their albums Big Swing
Face and The New One, this great Bill Reddie
chart is one of the most dynamic tunes Buddy
every played with his band...and they played it
for years and years every night. Set in a medium
tempo, this chart swings unmercifully when played
by a pumped up and energized rhythm section.
While certainly playable, this chart is not for the
faint at heart and will absolutely be loved by both
your band and audiences alike. Complete with
tenor saxophone solo and, of course, drum solo,
Machine is a must-have!

l New GirlDuke Pearson. This smaller
instrumentation does nothing to limit the brilliant
intricacy of Duke Pearson's New Girl. The lilting
melody enters and is initially stated in unison by
trumpet, alto sax, tenor sax and flute. The melody
is never directly re-stated, as Pearson opts for a
roaring, brilliantly orchestrated shout section to
follow up the solo section. Instrumentation: flute,
alto sax/flute, tenor sax, baritone sax/clarinet,
trombone, piano, bass, drums and optional guitar.

On Green Dolphin StreetBronislau Kaper/
arr. Gordon Goodwin. Recorded and released
by Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band as a digital
single, this chart is an homage to Oscar Peterson.
It's a solo feature including separate solo parts for
piano, C instruments, alto sax, tenor sax, trumpet
and trombone. The tempo is around 250 bpm; the
lead trumpet range is to written high F. Alto sax 1
doubles soprano sax and alto sax 2 doubles flute.
A tour-de-force chart!

Pure Imagination (from "Willie Wonka and
the Chocolate Factory")Bricusse & Newley/
arr. Elliot Deutsch. Beginning at 130 bpm, this
chart moves to double-time swing and then into
a samba groove with solo space for piano and
trumpet 4. Sophisticated and beautifully arranged,
this arrangement features creative development
and an array of unique characteristics found in
exceptional charts. The lead trumpet range is to
written high E. Check this one out, it's great for
festivals and contests!

H
Rhapsody in BlueGeorge Gershwin/arr. Gordon
Goodwin. This is a tour-de-force arrangement by
Gordon Goodwin of Gershwins's masterpiece. If you
can cut it, then play it because it will truly warrant a
standing ovation. The sax doubles call for piccolo (alto
1), clarinet/flute (alto 2) and bass clarinet (bari). The
second alto part has the well-known clarinet solo.
This chart has it all...the thematic material, swing,
key changes, solo space for alto, tenor, bari, trumpet
and trombone and lead trumpet range to written high
F. The percussion part calls for mallets and tympani.
Overall, a grasp of both jazz and classical concepts
will make this chart stand apart from anything else.

n Roman NotesJohn LaBarbera. Featuring
a hard groovin' 12/8 feel, this John LaBarbera
original serves as an alto saxophone feature that
also puts the entire band through its paces. The
skilled scoring makes this sound harder than it
really is, making this a great choice for festivals
and contests. As recorded by the John LaBarbera
Big Band on Caravan.

n The Rotten KidBuddy Greco/arr. Dick Grove.
As recorded by the Buddy Rich Big Band on the
album The New One, this great arrangement is full
of fire and energy. Set as an up-tempo shuffle, it's
a wonderful chart to feature lots of soloists along
with dynamic ensemble writing throughout. There's
solo space for alto saxophone, tenor saxophone
and trombone, allowing each to blow as long as
they would like. In addition, this tune features a
saxophone soli, a short trumpet section soli (a la
Dizzy), and climaxes with a great shout chorus. The
Rotten Kid will be an outstanding opener or closer
for any concert program!

n Santa Babyarr. Gordon Goodwin. In the hands
of master arranger and composer Gordon Goodwin,
this often-recorded Christmas novelty becomes a
holiday tour de force for big bands. It's a shuffle
at about 135 bpm with the melody played by bass
trombone! More features include a sax soli, optional
piccolo in alto 2, and the lead trumpet range is up to
written high G. Add in a few modulations with solo
space provided for altos 1 and 2, tenors 1 and 2,
trumpet 4, and trombones and you have a swingin',
fun, and clever chart in every way!

Sing, Sing, SingLouis Prima/arr. Gordon
Goodwin. A few twists and turns added to the
original Benny Goodman swing version make this
chart a definite crowd and band pleaser. Gordon
Goodwin's arrangement features a clarinet part
and an alternate alto 1 part in lieu of clarinet. Solo
changes are provided for all saxophone parts and
clarinet, and the lead trumpet range is to high
F-sharp. While not recorded by Goodwin's Big Phat
Band, it's a staple of the band's library and is played
often in live performances. It's a wonderful rendition
of this big band classic!

SpainChick Corea/arr. John LaBarbera. This
monster arrangement is the authentic version
as recorded by Bill Watrous and his Manhattan
Wildlife Refuge in the mid '70s. The signature
lines and blazing tempo of Chick Corea's classic
are transformed into a roaring chart for big band
by master arranger John LaBarbera. Alto 1 doubles
flute, and alto 2 doubles soprano sax.

l StablematesBenny Golson. This big-band
version of Golson's legendary tune was written for
the Dizzy Gillespie big band and used on one of
their famous State Department tours. It roars right
off the top at about 190 bpm and soon features
solo trumpet with powerful band hits behind the
soloist. Although written to feature Gillespie in solo
spots, it is not a trumpet feature throughout. The
trumpet solo is soon followed by a tenor solo, which
in turn is followed by another roaring full-ensemble
section. The trumpet soloist is back in for a brief
statement before the finale. Exciting, powerful, and
fun to hear and play, Stablemates is just as viable
today as it was in the 1950s!

l Stomping at the Savoy (Edited Version)arr.
Bill Holman. If there is one chart that seems to
capture the essence of Stan Kenton's mid-fifties
bands, this is the one! The chart swings like
mad from downbeat to the end. This is one of Bill
Holman's best early charts, with great ensemble
sections and great solo spaces for guitar or
piano, bass, trumpet, and tenor saxophone. This
is very sophisticated music included on arguably
the best album the Kenton band ever recorded,
Contemporary Concepts. This edited version of
Stomping at the Savoy is the same as the original
except it is written for eight brass instead of ten.

There Is No Greater LoveIsham Jones/arr. Eric
Richards. Eric Richards presents an excellent swing
chart for a strong band! Set at 184 bpm, it opens
with a small group contrafact and includes some
solo space for alto, trombone, and piano, followed
by a kickin' sax soli and a shout. The lead trumpet
range goes to written high D. A quality chart from
top to bottom!

n Things to ComeGillespie & Fuller/arr. Gordon
Goodwin. Composed by Dizzy Gillespie and Gil
Fuller, here's Gordon Goodwin's chart as recorded
by Arturo Sandoval and his big band on the CD,
Dear Diz (Every Day I Think of You). This is a
challenging swing chart that is very fast at around
202-232 bpm. The solo space is for all 5 saxes,
trombones 1 and 2 and trumpet 4, with the lead
trumpet range going to written high F-sharp
with optional A-flats. There are nice sax solis
and a trumpet section soli (or solo) that will be a
challenge. If you have the horses, play it!

4 TurnaboutBenny Carter. Of all Benny Carter's
small-group charts and big-band compositions,
few live up to this one! Written for and recorded
by the Count Basie Orchestra on their 1961
release The Legend, it smokes right off the top.
The features include a very bright tempo, roaring
full-band sections, and virtuosic demands across
all sections of the band, especially the saxophone
section. The solo space is for tenor saxophones
1 and 2 with individual solos, then a tenor chase
that is supported by wonderful ensemble hits.
Even better bands will find this full-time swinger a
challenge, but it will be so worth the effort! Very
highly recommended!
