H Hit the Road Jack—Percy Mayfield/arr. Mike
Lewis. Ray Charles made it famous, now you can
play it with your young jazz ensemble. There are
no individual solos, just solid ensemble all the way
with some unison sax solis with optional lip bends
to give the chart a bluesy sound. Trumpet 1 range
is to written E top space and the rhythms are easy
throughout. This will be easy to rehearse and sound
great... plus it's a great tune! Highly recommended!
Optional reduced or expanded instrumentations.

H I Want You Back—arr. John Wasson. The music
of The Jackson 5 remains as popular today as
ever. Here is one of their biggest hits from the
Motown era in a funky arrangement that is skillfully
scored for the entire ensemble. No solos, just solid
ensemble writing!

H The Incredibles (Medley)—Michael Giacchino/
arr. Stephen Bulla. Mix the stylish spy music from
the 1960s with a dose of cool jazz and you have a
winning combination for jazz ensemble. From the
Pixar hit animated movie, here's a high-energy
and entertaining chart that captures the essence
of the soundtrack perfectly, with three themes
from the movie that offer a ton of variety and
entertainment! A middle section in a jazz waltz
style is framed by exciting rock styles that will
be appealing to both audiences and developing
players. Highly recommended!

n Isn't She Lovely?—Stevie Wonder/arr. Mike Tom-
aro. Recorded by Stevie Wonder in 1976 on his
acclaimed album Songs in the Key of Life, this beau-
tiful song is a good example of combining elements
of jazz with pop. Keeping the same easy-flowing
shuffle groove of the original, Mike Tomaro adapts
this very nicely for the contemporary big band!

H September—arr. Mark Taylor. Here's the classic
funk tune from Earth, Wind & Fire in a terrific
arrangement for big band by Mark Taylor. This one
includes all your favorite signature horn riffs as well
as a solo for tenor sax.
10016127 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . M 50.00
n Shakey Ground—arr. Paul Murtha. This 1975
tune by the Temptations is one of their later hits,
co-written by Funkadelic guitarist Eddie Hazel and
decidedly funkadelic in style. This chart features the
infectious bass line first stated by baritone sax and
guitar, and later joined by the rest of the ensemble
playing the funky riffs. The solo section on a one-
chord vamp can easily be opened up, but samples
are provided for alto sax, trumpet and trombone.
You will love the way the ensemble layers in near
the ending. Shakey Ground is definitely a fun chart
with attitude!

H 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!

H Superstition—Stevie Wonder/arr. Paul Murtha.
Stevie Wonder helped bring funk to mainstream
pop music in the '70s, and this is one of his most
recognizable hits. This arrangement is easy to
learn yet maintains the authentic groove of the
original. Playable by standard jazz ensemble
instrumentation, it will also sound full and complete
with 4 saxes, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones and rhythm.
Optional parts included for flute, 2 clarinets, horn in
F and tuba. Highly recommended!

4 Stairway to Heaven—Page & Plant/arr. Dallas
Burke. Jimmy Page and Robert Plant's iconic rock
tour-de-force receives a powerful and dynamic
treatment here for contemporary jazz ensembles!
This Led Zeppelin classic features a creative
concept with a lush rock ballad beginning featuring
a flugelhorn solo, before the band starts a powerful
and full ensemble section. Next, the tempo speeds
up and and there's room to feature a soloist before
the tempo and intensity increase again and the
band starts to really rock. As the ensemble reaches
high gear, there's more solos over the top of the
band before returning to a lush ending featuring
the flugelhorn soloist again. If you're looking for an
effective and powerful production chart, here it is!
Highly recommended!

n Uptown Funk!—arr. Michael Sweeney. From
Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars, this monster hit is
the perfect throwback to a funky R&B style! This
arrangement for younger players features modest
ranges and repetitive yet authentic-sounding
rhythms. This outstanding chart is playable with
optional reduced or expanded instrumentations,
and the bass lines and piano voicings are written.
No solos are required, just a little attitude! Our
highest recommendation!

H Vehicle—James Peterik/arr. Ralph Ford. Here's
a powerhouse arrangement of this rock classic
that will motivate your students and excite your
audiences. It's got plenty of solid full-band writing
as well as sectional solis and trades. Trombone 1
is featured for a chorus with a written-out solo and
a brief cadenza, and the lead trumpet range is up
to an optional written A. This is a must-have rock
chart that is highly recommended!

l Welcome to the Jungle—arr. Rick Stitzel.
Recorded by Guns N' Roses in the 1980s, this
rocker has become a classic and is often heard
in TV and film. Set here for younger players, it
still retains the relentless drive and energy of the
original. There's a short written solo for alto or
tenor sax while the brass carry the signature riffs.
Also playable with optional reduced or expanded
instrumentations, this one will be great fun for
younger players!

H You've Got a Friend in Me (from "Toy Story
2")—Randy Newman/arr. Rick Stitzel. This swingin'
arrangement for beginning jazzers is based on the
version by the character Wheezy featured in "Toy
Story 2." The saxes enjoy most of the melody, but
the brass get their chance too, along with a written
solo or soli for the trumpets. This memorable salute
to friendship is sure to be enjoyed by audiences of
all ages! A CD is included and it is playable with
optional reduced or expanded instrumentations.
