Hip 5/4 blues sections are contrasted with a straight-ahead swingin' 4/4 blues, which gives this chart its unique appeal. There are plenty of opportunities for your soloists to improvise on 4/4 blues changes, or with the written suggested solos included. It will sound great with full or reduced instrumentation. Tired of the same old blues? 5.4 on the Richter Scale is a really fresh chart for your next concert! 10050244 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . 48.00 702 ShuffleBret Zvacek.

Salute the unsung hero of the jazz ensemble, the piano player, with this accessible piano feature! 88 Ave. B is an accessible Basie-style swinger that features the piano throughout with tasty fills and a place in the spotlight. Written solos are provided for the piano as well as trumpet and trombone. Each section has a chance to shine in this appealing chart. The trumpet range goes to written high G and the tempo swings easy at around 138 bpm. 10518332 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . 45.00 H AbracadabraLarry Barton. The magic of this slinky swinger will put your audience under a spell! The lead wind players start things out on the head, but before long the full band is jamming along. It's an "in your face" chart that's all about attitude! 2472521 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . 45.00 4 Acronym BluesDoug Beach. Commissioned by friends and colleagues of noted music educator Cliff Kaminsky, this medium level chart is dedicated to his memory. It's a hard-driving shuffle with plenty of ensemble work for everyone and is a perfect choice as an opener or closer. A written or improvised open solo section for everyone is included with solo sheets provided for all. Highly recommended! 10752097 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . 52.00 H AfternoonPat Metheny/arr. Bob Curnow. Here is a slow, swinging, lovely, warm, relaxed chart in the style of that famous Neal Hefti swing ballad! The arrangement is subtle and easy to play, and there are not a lot of pieces by Pat Metheny that swing in this way. The arrangement suggests flugelhorns throughout, although trumpets would work just fine. There is solo space for alto saxophone and trumpet/ flugel. Very nice! 10162086 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . 55.00 Afternoon in ParisJohn Lewis/arr. Mark Taylor. John Lewis (composer, pianist, and founder of the acclaimed Modern Jazz Quartet) penned Afternoon in Paris in the 1950s and it has remained a jazz standard ever since. This nicely crafted version for developing jazz ensembles opens with a small group on the head and drums on brushes. Solos for trumpet and tenor follow with suggested solos and scale/chord sheets provided, along with dynamic full ensemble statements. Highly recommended! 10098783 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . 45.00 l Alfie (Little Big Band)Burt Bacharach/arr. Michael Mossman. In this flexible instrumentation setting for six horns and rhythm, Michael Mossman uses a moderate swing style to fashion a classy version of this familiar standard. The scoring style is largely tutti, but with a few unique twists and turns along the way. 10667354 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . 45.00 n All InLennie Niehaus. This original for advancing groups by Stan Kenton alumni Lennie Niehaus is sure to please players and audiences alike. The material is well developed and provides plenty of opportunity for various players and sections to share in the melodic role. Solos are provided for alto saxophone, baritone saxophone, tenor saxophone, and trombone. A swinging shout chorus utilizes effective rhythmic material that brings the chart to a rousing finish! 10041613 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . 52.00 All In for the BluesDoug Beach. As one of the most important American music forms, the blues is an essential concept for developing students who are learning about jazz improvisation and ensemble playing. This easy-level swinger has it all: a strong melody, a fun stop-time section, solid ensemble writing, an effective sax soli that really swings, an open solo section with written or improvised solos, and nice development. Playable with optional reduced or expanded instrumentations, it's scored for 12-17 players with optional parts included for flute, clarinet, horn in F, tuba and vibes. Outstanding performance and instructional repertoire! 10499212 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . 48.00 Artistry in RhythmStan Kenton/arr. Paul Murtha. Composed and recorded by Stan Kenton in the 1940s, Artistry in Rhythm became his signature and a true classic from the big-band era. Paul Murtha has skillfully adapted and truncated this for younger players while maintaining the flavor and energy of the original. Solo piano starts things off followed by the iconic trombone solo in the medium Latin section. The exciting double time swing section features the entire ensemble, then the maestoso theme returns to close things out. Impressive! 10374166 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . 45.00 Attack of the Killer Tomatoesarr. Ralph Ford. Crazy title? It's from the movie of the same name and is a tongue-in-cheek swing chart adapted from a much more difficult chart by Gordon Goodwin for his Big Phat Band. Arranged by Ralph Ford for developing players, it will be a hit with both the band and the audience. No improvised solos, just ensemble playing and some great section solis. This will be a fun chart for any performance! Highly recommended! Optional expanded instrumentation. 10071882 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . 48.00 n Attitude AdjustmentLarry Barton. Here's a big, solid swing-blues chart with attitude! It includes an open section for the soloists of your choice, with written suggested solos. An incredibly solid bass line really holds this chart together and gives it a feel that is distinctive and powerful! Playable with limited instrumentation, this will build confidence in your developing players! 2478455 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . 45.00 H Autumn LeavesJoseph Kosma/arr. Peter Blair. This is a great old tune! Except...there's nothing "old" sounding about it. It's a medium swing version of a marvelous, often-played standard that opens with an alto and trumpet duet and is filled with tight ensemble punches. The saxes are featured on a chorus and there is a written or ad lib solo for piano. 2406361 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . 45.00 n Baby Drives a Fast CarPaul Clark. There's some solid swingin' going on here! The style will make your kids feel like they're playing in a professional big band, but with suggested solos provided and playable by reduced instrumentation, it's perfect for developing groups. Basic changes let students work on their improv skills, too. 2438901 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . 45.00 Back OnlineGregory Yasinitsky. Don't miss this swinging, shuffle blues chart for developing groups that cooks right off the top! Set at about 132 bpm, it features a full and hot saxophone section soli, a stop-time section leading into the solo, a written or improvised solo for trumpet, and a section that comes way down after the solos that feature the brass and then the full ensemble. It then opens up and really begins to swing! Additionally, it can be played with optional reduced or expanded instrumentations. Back Online is accessible for many bands and is highly recommended! 10568026 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . 48.00 BackatownTroy Andrews/arr. John Wasson. From Trombone Shorty's acclaimed CD Backatown, here is the hot title cut arranged for big band in a funky medium tempo. Combining the elements of New Orleans second line and contemporary rock styles, this unique chart features a blend of catchy riffs, solid ensemble passages, and stop-time breaks. There are short written or ad lib solos for trumpet and tenor. This chart exudes a spirited and unmistakable New Orleans swagger! 10490289 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . 45.00 BackburnerCarl Strommen. This bright, bluesy shuffle features a triplet rhythmic figure that is a strong hook and opens with the rhythm section setting the groove and a piano solo which may be played as written or improvised. A great sax soli follows with the opening statement accompanied by stop-time figures in the rhythm section and is answered by the brass. As the chart unfolds, the melody is segmented and passed around the horns. The solo section moves through several ii-V progressions so your soloists will have an opportunity to play over these essential jazz changes. After a soft section, this fun swinger builds big to the end. Highly recommended! 10009634 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . 45.00 Bacon Suite BluesBret Zvacek. Bret Zvacek's accessible chart on the blues not only has a clever title, it's a laid-back swinger that's lays right in the pocket! There's nothing like a straight-ahead, medium blues chart for teaching the essential elements of jazz playing. Bacon Suite Blues has it all: a strong melody, solid ensemble writing, varying dynamics and an optional open solo section with included solo sheets. There's a soft ensemble section after the solos that builds to a wonderful shout and then a trombone section soli, then more hard-driving and down home swing leading to a cool finale. A great chart with great writing that's highly recommended! 10604638 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . 52.00 Something special for holiday performances! GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN arr. Mat Montgomery. Add some funk to your holiday program with this soulful arrangement of the Christmas spiritual Go Tell It on the Mountain. Featuring the baritone sax player on partially written and improvised solos, it's loaded with gospel-inspired elements and style. The improvised solo section is over only one chord, and a blues scale can effectively be used most of the time. Your students will thank you for this opportunity to get on down and play this chart for Christmas and holiday performances! 10757076 Jazz Ensemble. . .
