l Mr. Walker—Wes Montgomery/arr. Terry White.
Featuring a light rock groove which alternates with
stop-time sections, this tune by jazz master Wes
Montgomery works great for younger bands. The
chart opens with a duet of trumpet and tenor sax
and includes a sax section soli built on fragments
of Wes' own original solo. Written or improvised
solos are included for trumpet and tenor sax, and
it's playable with optional reduced or expanded
instrumentations.

H 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!

Running with Scissors—Gordon Goodwin.
Running with Scissors is a very hip, funky groove
chart played around 168 bpm. It's loaded with
classic Gordon Goodwin flair, plus sample solos
are provided for C instruments, E-flat alto or bari
saxes, B-flat tenor, B-flat trumpet, and trombone. It
begins as a nice, quiet funk groove, develops, and
has great textural variation between the rhythm
section and horns. The lead trumpet range is to
written high C with an optional D. Included is an
auxiliary percussion part and optional parts for flute
and vibes. More accessible than many Gordon
Goodwin charts, your band and its audiences will
totally enjoy this one. Highly recommended!

e Shake a Tail Feather—arr. John Wasson. This
1963 funky classic has been covered by countless
artists but is probably best remembered from
Ray Charles' performance in the 1980 film "The
Blues Brothers." This chart is arranged here for
developing jazz bands with plenty of drive and
energy. Your alto and tenor saxes get to show off
with easy solos.

Sign Me Up!—Mike Kamuf. This funky original has
all the ingredients for your jazz band to succeed.
It's an up-tempo rocker with a super melody
played at around 132 bpm. There are written or
improvised solos for trombone and alto sax and
the bass line is one that younger players will enjoy.
Additional features include a lead trumpet range to
written G on top of the staff, a cool a cappella stop-
time section that goes into a big shout chorus,
followed by a brief drum solo. Optional parts are
included for flute, clarinet and vibes. Sign us up for
this highly recommended chart!

e Slim Chickens—Kris Berg. Here's Kris Berg's
chicken chart for 2019! Slim Chickens is a
melodic funk chart over a nice progression and
it's accessible for developing groups with the lead
trumpet range going to written G top staff. There
are written suggested solos for tenor sax 1 and
trombone 1 with very cool backgrounds supporting
the soloists. It cooks at around 148 bpm with some
nice bari sax licks, a sax soli, and full-sounding
ensemble sections. Nothing slim here, it's a great
chart, and it's highly recommended!

e Sneaky Pete—Ric Flauding/arr. Paul Baker. This
funky horn-driven chart weaves in and out of the
boundaries with winding chromatic lines and high-
energy accompaniment. The features include a
solid rhythm section pulse, ample full ensemble
scoring, and effective dynamic contrasts. With
satisfying ensemble backgrounds, the solo space
is for tenor sax, trombone, and guitar, and the
drums get several smaller opportunities, too.
Written brass ranges: trumpet to high C and
trombone to G. Sneaky Pete never lets up!

e Soul Proprietor—Ellen Rowe. Ellen Rowe's Soul
Proprietor is a gospel rocker with a straight-eighth
feel. The chart rocks quietly and gradually builds in
intensity to the written or improvised solo space for
any saxophone, any rhythm section player, or any
brass player. Do not miss the saxophone section
soli without the rhythm section that materializes
after the solos. Then it's back to the recap and a
surprise ending. With its varied textures, strong
melody and happy attitude, this chart is highly
recommended!

H Watermelon Man—Herbie Hancock/arr. Mike
Kamuf. Oh yeah! This is a crowd pleaser and a band
pleaser... a win-win! Fun, funky, hip, groovy — call
it what you want, this chart is excellent in every
way... and if you have a decent bari player, he or
she will really love this one. There are written solos
for alto and tenor sax, a stop-time without rhythm
section for the saxes, a fantastic interlude section, a
monster shout chorus, and some short drum fills...
what's not to like!? Very highly recommended!
Optional expanded instrumentation.

He 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!
