H
Pure Imagination (from "Wille Wonka and
the Chocolate Factory")Bricusse & Newley/
arr. Craig Skeffington. If you haven't heard this
gorgeous ballad from "Willie Wonka and the
Chocolate Factory," now is the time. A sensational
and easy-to-play alto sax solo feature, this
arrangement is scored with lush harmonies and
backgrounds. The lead trumpet range is to written
A above the staff, the alto sax solo is entirely written
out and optional parts are included for expanded
instrumentation. Newsflash: this will be your new
favorite tune!

H
Round MidnightMonk & Williams/arr. Dave
Wolpe. Dave Wolpe sets this timeless and beautiful
Cootie Williams and Thelonious Monk classic as
a flugelhorn feature. The band and soloist get to
stretch out some in a double time interlude before
returning to the lyrical ballad style. This chart is
everything you would want it to be. Great tune,
great chart! Highly recommended!

H SamanthaSammy Nestico. Originally written
for and played by Bud Shank, this showpiece
for alto sax features a wide dynamic range and
calls for a soft, smooth approach to background
figures. Although written solo lines are provided
throughout, the main solo chorus includes chord
changes for players with improvisation chops.
The chart closes out with a solo cadenza over a
sustained ensemble chord.

H
SkylarkHoagy Carmichael/arr. Dave Wolpe.
You won't find a better ballad feature for your tenor
sax soloist! The ensemble writing is wonderful, too.
Dave Wolpe has created an arrangement that truly
does justice to this extraordinarily beautiful Hoagy
Carmichael tune. Highly recommended!

Softly, As in a Morning SunriseSigmund
Romberg/arr. Mark Taylor. From the rarely
remembered 1928 operetta "The New Moon,"
this lovely tune has gone on to become a
standard favored by many jazz artists. Set in a
light samba groove, here is a terrific arrangement
featuring solo alto saxophone throughout. The
solo is beautifully contrasted with ensemble
interludes and backgrounds, plus a short unison
tutti feature.

H Spring Can Really Hang You up the Most
Tommy Wolf/arr. Kris Berg. Here's an outstanding
Kenton-style ballad that showcases the lead
trombone and the trombone section. The chart
builds during a 12/8 section that makes it an
even stronger choice as an excellent ballad
feature. There are no improvised solos and lead
trumpet range is to written C above the staff with
an optional D sharp. This one is a wonderful jazz
ballad with a twist!
10011988 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . MA 60.00
Summer Never EndsBill Liston. Wow,
here's a funk ballad that features your trombone
soloist with a completely notated solo along with
provided changes. The solo part floats over the
band and remains legato against the band's funk
grooves. An optional, extended improvisation
section for the trombone soloist is included. If
you're looking for something different for a solo
feature... this is it!

4 Summer SolsticeErik Sherburne. Summer
Solstice is a soulfully cool ballad that features
either a trumpet, flugelhorn or soprano saxophone
soloist with solo parts included for each. Beautifully
relaxed in straight eighth-note style, it's well-crafted
with the solo parts entirely written with optional
improvisation opportunities. The solo part offers
interesting chord changes while the ensemble is
more than a simple accompaniment. Nice, unique
and more contemporary than most solo features!

4 To YouThad Jones/arr. Mike Carubia. Mike
Carubia has rescored this sensitive Thad Jones
jazz ballad in the lower key of C Major for greater
accessibility while retaining all the original lines
and character. The breathing, phrasing and
dynamics have all been thoroughly notated to help
students learn control, balance and intonation.
There is a short written solo for trombone and
a quasi-double-time section after the solo.
This is wonderfully beautiful change-of-pace
programming! Highly recommended!

True NorthMike Dana. This is a captivating,
contemporary even-eighth note ballad in the ECM
tradition. Your lead alto player can really shine
during this tuneful original for advancing groups. The
composer highly recommends using the wordless
optional vocal part to enhance the sensitivity and
warmth of the piece. Ranges and rhythms are very
accessible, but the rhythm section's interpretation
must be solid and nuanced. This is truly a beautiful
work that belongs in every library!

l Wannsee (From the Impressions of Berlin
Suite)Oliver Nelson/ed. Bob Curnow. Wannsee
is the second movement of the Impressions of
Berlin suite. This lovely, beautiful, haunting melody
features flute and flugelhorn, as they each have
the opportunity to state this captivating theme.
Set in a slow 3/4 Latin-ish feel, the lilting groove
provides a mesmerizing backdrop for the melody
and eventually moves into a standard bossa nova
groove in 4/4 for the featured flugelhorn soloist.
This chart is professional in its writing yet quite
playable due to its moderate ranges, rhythmic
simplicity, and attainable tempo. If you're looking
for a unique ballad, this is the one!

H
When I Fall in LoveVictor Young/arr. Craig
Skeffington. Show off the sensitive side of your
band with this ensemble ballad with no featured
soloist. There is a brief 4-bar written trumpet
melody. Otherwise, it's all ensemble blend with
a lush texture, a double-time section and lead
trumpet range to written G on top of the staff. The
drummer plays with brushes and sticks, the band
emotes and everybody sounds great! Optional
parts for flute, horn in F, baritone horn and tuba are
included. You'll fall in love with this excellent chart!
10049716 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . M 52.00
n Willow Weep for MeAnn Ronnel/arr. Kris
Berg. A superb alto sax solo feature, this is a
classic 12/8, bluesy and soulful treatment of this
great standard! Everything is written out for the
alto player and it has chord changes if preferred.
The lead trumpet range is to written A above the
staff. Give a listen to this great chart and decide
for yourself. It's one of the quintessential features
for alto saxophone! Highly recommended! Optional
expanded instrumentation.
