BLUES & SWING easy
4 Malaguena—Ernesto Lecuona/arr. Mike Story.
Oh, yes! This fiery Latin tune has become a
jazz standard over the years, and here it is in an
accessible arrangement for young jazz ensembles.
The overall style is swing with a touch of Latin
thrown in to keep the excitement up. Played around
168 bpm, written solos are provided for alto 1 and
trumpet 1, and the trumpet 1 range is to written F
top line. The creative scoring includes reduced or
expanded instrumentation options. It's accessible,
very playable and definitely a classic addition to
your library.

Minnie the Moocher—arr. Ralph Ford. Here's the
Cab Calloway classic arranged for beginning jazz
ensembles. The dirty swing groove really comes
through, and the band even gets to do Cab's little
call-and-response ditty.

H
Misty—Erroll Garner/arr. Terry White. Perhaps one
of the most familiar jazz standards of all time, this
easy but effective chart has a laid-back swing feel.

and trumpet 1, and the lead trumpet range goes up
to written E-flat top space. It's also playable with
optional reduced or expanded instrumentations.

Mood Indigo—Duke Ellington/arr. Vince Gassi.
This medium swing arrangement of the dreamy
Ellington tune will cook at just about any tempo
but the recommended tempo is approximately 108
beats per minute. The chart features a written tenor
sax solo and a lot of interplay between the brass
and saxes. It's even got a four bar stop-time section
providing some rhythmic contrast. The Duke would
be pleased that you're playing one of his songs on
your next concert program! Optional reduced or
expanded instrumentations.
10277423 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .42.00
H Moondance—Van Morrison/arr. Victor Lopez. Van
Morrison's hit is a natural for jazz ensemble. Now
for bands at the easy level, this minor-key swinger
is incredibly hip! The captivating melody moves
through the sections of the band, sometimes in
unison, sometimes in harmony, and the solo section
is written for all the wind players, so you can have
anyone or everyone play the written or ad lib solo.
This tune is a perennial favorite with jazz lovers!
2701897 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .48.00

4 North Shore Shuffle—Dean Sorenson. The
shuffle is one of the staple grooves of the big band,
and this one jumps right after the opening lick and
never looks back. Swinging melodies and punchy
accompaniment figures are featured throughout.
The shout chorus is ideal for teaching ensemble
phrasing and articulation. The open solo sections
offer everyone an opportunity for improvisation, and
the expanded scoring is great for all kinds of bands.
Get ready to swing with this one!
11199707 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .48.00
4 On a Misty Night—Tadd Dameron/arr. Terry
White. This is sweet! This Tadd Dameron swing
classic scored for young jazz bands doesn't try
to be overly clever or tricky. It's just straight-
ahead swing style at a moderate tempo all the
way. There is an abundance of nice ensemble
passages and short written solos for tenor and
trumpet. And don't miss the accessible and
interesting sax soli. An outstanding vehicle for
teaching the swing style, it's also playable with
optional reduced or expanded instrumentations.
Our highest recommendation!

Latin and swing styles along with limited technical
demands in this terrific setting for younger jazz
ensembles. Playable with optional reduced or
expanded instrumentations.

Murtha. Instantly recognizable by all, here is one
of the all-time great movie themes in a masterful
arrangement for younger players. Paul Murtha

smooth tutti passages, and solo section for tenor
sax or trumpet. It doesn't get any better than this!

keys are included. Optional reduced or expanded
instrumentations. Includes CD.

and piano with a killer shout chorus.

descending harmony line makes this chart very
playable for the young jazz musician. The trumpet
1 range is to written F top line and it features
instrumentation options from 9 to 19 players. This
is one of the ultimate crowd pleasers and it's ideal
for any performance!
10049681 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .42.00
Summertime (from Porgy and Bess)—George
Gershwin/arr. Rich DeRosa. This Gershwin classic
has a refreshing sound as the chorale introduction
slips into a slow swing feel reminiscent of the
legendary Miles Davis/Gil Evans arrangement.

young jazz band. This arrangement includes easy
written solos for trombone, trumpet, tenor sax, and
alto sax, with backgrounds behind each; a simple
but very effective shout chorus; and easy brass
ranges. Introduce your young players to Gershwin
with this outstanding chart! Optional reduced or
expanded instrumentation.

introduce beginning jazz groups to the swing style.

solo sheets provided in all keys along with scales
to assist students with improvisation. Playable with

Work Song—Nat Adderley/arr. Peter Blair. Here's
one of the best jazz classics ever in a minor key!
The original Nat Adderly gospel/rock-style recording
is the starting point for this accessible arrangement.
After the first time through the head featuring the
altos and trumpets, the stop-time section from
the original is used with the harmonized melody.
There's also a solid shout chorus that leads to a
soft ensemble passage before the written alto
sax solo. Arranged for full jazz ensemble, it'll also
sound great with a minimum of 3 saxes (AAT), 3
trumpets, 2 trombones, piano, bass and drums.
Highly recommended!
