e Honeysuckle Rose—Thomas "Fats" Waller/arr.
Paul Baker. Here's a swingin' jazz classic played
around 156 bpm with written suggested solos
provided for alto sax 1 and trumpet 2 with cues
for piano and trumpet 1. The sax soli, drum fills, a
few familiar quotes, along with well-notated rhythm
section parts all come together to create a fine
chart that will make developing groups shine. A
nice swing chart done well!

e I'm Getting Sentimental Over You—George
Bassman/arr. Mark Taylor. Long recognized as the
signature song for the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra,
here is a beautifully arranged setting for young jazz
ensembles. In a slow Basie-style swing, this chart
features plenty of full ensemble scoring, modest
brass ranges, a solo for trumpet, and a brief sax
soli in double-time feel.

l It Had to Be You—Isham Jones/arr. Mark Taylor.
In classic Count Basie style, Mark Taylor's well-
crafted arrangement of this familiar standard is set
in a medium-slow swing style and features the full
ensemble perfectly scored to sound rich and full.
In contrast, a short piano solo is interspersed that
can be played as written or ad lib. A great change
of pace for contest or festival!

e Lil' Hefty—Zachary Smith. Ideal for young jazz
bands, this moderately slow swinger is a tribute
to legendary composer Neal Hefti. Lil' Hefty is
a melodic chart with well-noted articulations,
written-out rhythm section parts, and written
melody solos for trumpet and piano, all at about
80-92 bpm. The trumpet 1 range is to G top of staff
and is playable with optional reduced or expanded
instrumentation. Here's a great little chart for
change-of-pace programming and teaching an
important jazz style!

He Moanin'—Charles Mingus/arr. Andrew Homzy.
Here's a playable yet very effective arrangement
of this signature Mingus composition. The familiar
baritone sax riff is handled by three saxes, and there
is also a substantial soli for the entire saxophone
section. Optional parts are included for flute,
clarinet and French horn. A terrific introduction to
the genius of Mingus!

e On the Sunny Side of the Street—Dorothy
Fields & Jimmy McHugh/arr. John Berry. Opening
with a small group featuring alto, tenor, trumpet,
and trombone, this easy chart features plenty of
scoring variety and a nicely flowing moderate swing
style. Additional features include a brief sax section
soli, a written or improvised solo for trumpet, and
optional reduced or expanded instrumentation
options. A wonderful standard for young players!

l Shorty George—Count Basie & Andy Gibson/arr.
Michael Sweeney. This early Count Basie classic is
an excellent vehicle for teaching traditional Basie
style to younger groups. With options for reduced
or expanded instrumentation, this medium swinger
features the sax section as well as written or
improvised solos for trumpet and tenor sax.

H Sing, Sing, Sing—Louis Prima/trans. Mike Lewis.
Here it is...perhaps the most recognizable swing
tune of all time! This incredible transcription is as
close as you're going to come to the original (which
included clarinet and less than a full compliment
of brass). This chart is scored for a standard 5
saxes, 4 trumpets, 4 trombones and rhythm, but
aside from that, it is the original as played by Benny
Goodman. Every lick is there, including all the Gene
Krupa drum breaks! This chart is a must for every
big band's library!

e Swing Thing—Carl Strommen. Based on the
chord changes to It Don't Mean a Thing by Duke
Ellington, Swing Thing is the perfect chart to
introduce beginning jazz groups to the swing style.
The solo section is playable by any instrument, with
solo sheets provided in all keys along with scales
to assist students with improvisation. Playable with
optional reduced or expanded instrumentation,
optional parts are included for flute, clarinet, horn
in F, tuba and vibes parts. A solid teaching chart by
a master composer, this is highly recommended!

e Take a Break Blues—George Shutack. Many of
the famous Count Basie charts were built on riffs
or short melodic ideas that were repeated several
times over the blues progression. This swing
original at the very easy level is the perfect vehicle to
introduce young players to this concept. It features
safe and solid ensemble writing, a bluesy sound,
and an effective shout chorus. Scored for only four
horns with rhythm section and expandable to full
big band instrumentation, written or improvised
solo sheets for all are included, along with optional
parts for flute, clarinet and horn in F. Take a break
and check it out!

He Take the 'A' Train—Billy Strayhorn/arr. Vince
Gassi. This chart swings all the way and is very
playable by a young jazz ensemble. Arranger
Vince Gassi offers a fresh take on this classic, yet
captures the essence of this well-known Strayhorn
composition made famous by Ellington. It's scored
exactly right for younger players... not too difficult
but with fun-to-play parts. With brief written solos
for 1st alto sax and 1st trumpet, and easy ranges,
it also has plenty of dynamics to teach. A superb
chart you will play for years to come! Optional
reduced or expanded instrumentation.
