Hit the Bricks—Gordon Goodwin. Here's
something you don't often find! If you want to
play Gordon Goodwin charts but find they are a
little too challenging, check this out! Composed
and arranged by Gordon Goodwin specifically for

totally hot! The lead trumpet range is to written
G on top of the staff, there are suggested or
improvised solos for alto, tenor, bari, trumpet
and trombone along with backgrounds on cue.

Honk—Jeff Jarvis. Ever since the widespread
popularity of the Jeff Jarvis funk original Critical
Mass, requests for a sequel have been pouring
in. At last, Jeff has composed and arranged
Honk, with all the characteristics that made its
predecessor such a hit with jazz ensembles,
only at a slightly more accessible level. Like
Critical Mass, Honk begins with a cool sax
section introduction, clearly placing your baritone
saxophonist in the limelight, but without excessive
technical demands. Everyone has interesting and
challenging parts to play throughout and the
modulation near the end gives it an extra, added
lift. The solos are open and the backgrounds can
be varied by instrumentation. This one is hot from
beginning to end! Very highly recommended!

this tune features the powerful underlying pulse of a

of contemporary rock. There's written or improvised
solo space for trumpet. In this exciting chart, the
ensemble alternately screams with the full band
riffs, then settles into a simmering rhythmic groove.
Also included are written bass lines and piano
voicings. A real treat to perform and hear!

and let the groove take over! Not too fast, not too

but they are key to holding the band together. The
open solo section will give soloists a chance to
shine with a suggested solo scored in the tenor sax
1 part and chord changes included in all the parts.

solo is included, optional parts are included for

the arrangement is right on target with no individual
solos but plenty of section and ensemble work. The

4 Prog Pacific—Ryan Fraley. With a bit of
progressive rock and a lot of half-time funk, this
great chart can be rounded out with optional
synthesizer and electric guitar. The sticky grooves
and melodies drive the point home. Two carefully
transcribed solos are provided for trumpet and guitar
that match the superb recorded solos, or they can be
improvised as desired. Optional parts are included
for flute/violin, clarinet and F horn, and the lead
trumpet range is to G top of staff. You can have fun
and experiment with different effects in the optional
synthesizer part that's well worth the effort. Serious
fun and great change-of-pace programming!

l Quest of the Red Knight—Chris Sharp. Quest
of the Red Knight is a tour-de-force chart in the
tradition of Buddy Rich's Channel One Suite and
West Side Story. Comprising three sections, it
opens with an extended fanfare by horns only later
joined by the rhythm section. The second section is
a moderate jazz waltz featuring an abundance of full
ensemble and sectional writing along with a guitar
solo and an a cappella section. The third section is
in an energetic 3/4 taken in 1 and includes an alto
sax solo as well as a brief drum solo at the finale
that could easily be extended. Suggested solos are
included along with chord symbols. This study in
triple meter is a great workout for the ensemble and
the drummer!

Red Clay—Freddie Hubbard/arr. Mike Kamuf.
A gem of a chart, here's Freddie Hubbard's
Red Clay arranged for developing jazz bands.
Characteristically, it's a straight-eighths groove
at 132 bpm with written or ad lib solos for tenor
sax and trumpet 2. A more subtle and quieter
interlude adds variety and interest, and a unique
and effective rhythm section break featuring the
bassist leads to the return of the head. The trumpet
1 range is to written G on top of the staff and a nice
shout chorus further adds to the fun. Playable with
optional expanded instrumentations. A great jazz
standard superbly arranged!
