Tutu—Marcus Miller/arr. Michael Philip Mossman.
In 1987 Miles Davis took home the Grammy award
for best jazz instrumental soloist for his performance

similar to the original. Featuring distinctive modal
style harmonies, and a few twists and turns, and
solos for trumpet (naturally) and alto sax, this is sure
to be a standout selection for any ensemble!

Tweet Fatigue—Gordon Goodwin. Gordon
Goodwin wrote this superb chart for a good high
school jazz ensemble to be played around 126 bpm
with a straight-eighth feel and a rock groove. The
saxes start things off a cappella then things heat
up in a quirky, but clever Goodwin way. Solo space
is provided for a variety of players with separate
sample solos provided for C, B-flat, E-flat, and
trombone soloists. An auxiliary percussion part plus
all the usual optional parts plus vibes are included
for augmented instrumentations. Here's your
festival chart that's highly recommended!

arr. Michael Philip Mossman. Recorded in the mid-
1950s and also known as Trane's Blues, this jazz
classic is credited to Miles Davis but reportedly

Michael Mossman's refreshing version crafted in a
moderate cha-cha groove puts this standard tune
in a completely new light. The solo section can
be handled by any saxophone. Suggested solos,
chord/scale sheets in all keys, written bass lines
and piano voicings are all included.

H Whiplash—Hank Levy/arr. Erik Morales.
Featured in the 2014 movie "Whiplash," depicting
the relationship between an ambitious student
musician and an abusive, yet respected instructor,
this chart is a super-exciting work in 7/4 composed
by Hank Levy and arranged by Erik Morales. Don't
be intimidated by the meter... it's challenging, but
after a few minutes it feels quite natural and the
students will totally groove on it. The melody is
stated by 2nd trumpet and 1st alto with solo space
for both on easy chord changes. Articulation is
critical and the rhythm section may want to spend
some quality time together. The lead trumpet range
is to written D above the staff. This is a unique but
very desirable chart to have in your library. You
won't regret playing Whiplash!
