BALLADS medium to advanced
Fallingwater—Ryan Fraley. Here is a beautiful
trombone solo feature where you can combine
forces with a string orchestra in this lush work
for jazz ensemble, or jazz ensemble alone.
The string orchestra can easily be replaced or
augmented with the included synthesizer part, or
the work can be performed with standard big band
instrumentation only. Your developing trombone
soloist is supported through a series of different
scenes with graceful orchestration and an ever-
descending harmonic progression. A transcription
of the improvised portion of the solo on the
recording is provided. An optional marimba part
adds depth, color and motion. The top trumpet/
flugel note is F-sharp. This is a subtle and mature
work for jazz orchestra.

beautiful, but it makes perfect sense!

Goodbye, Pork Pie Hat—Charles Mingus/arr.
Andrew Homzy. This beautiful arrangement of
Charles Mingus' signature ballad features altos
and trumpets playing the melody off the top,
then later adds the entire ensemble. Sample
written solos are provided for the short solo or
soli spots for trumpet and trombone and there are
also notated piano voicings and bass lines. Here
is a more accessible version of this lovely tune
that will be a great introduction to the music of
Mingus for developing players. Optional parts are
also included for flute, clarinet and F horn. A jazz
classic that is highly recommended!

Goodbye Pork Pie Hat—Charles Mingus/arr.
Alan Baylock. Alan Baylock has created a sonic
landscape for the full ensemble and a tenor
saxophone soloist from one of Charles Mingus'
most lovely and soulful ballads. The tenor gets
the spotlight with an elongated introduction
and cadenzas at the end while the full band is
highlighted with beautifully scored ensemble
passages in between. The lead trumpet range is
to written B-flat, and optional parts are included for
flute and vibes. Ideal as a festival change-of-pace
selection, it's also perfect for almost any program.
A truly superb setting!

Grace—Jones & Lubbock/arr. Quincy Jones &
Sammy Nestico. From the acclaimed CD Basie &
Beyond comes this emotional ballad for tenor or
soprano sax that will touch the hearts of performers

piano introduction set the mood, and the rest is
simply sensational. Nice!

Harlem Nocturne—Earle Hagen/arr. Mike Tomaro.
This standard from the 1940s has been recorded
countless times and remains a staple in the jazz
literature. Mike Tomaro's creative treatment shines
new and invigorating light on the tune, with a
contemporary shuffle groove and fresh harmonies.

I Remember Clifford—Benny Golson/arr. Sammy
Nestico. Benny Golson's tribute to Clifford Brown
has been a jazz favorite for years, and in the hands
of Sammy Nestico you won't find a better flugelhorn
feature. Absolutely gorgeous!
2249365 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . .M 50.00
4 I Remember Clifford—Benny Golson/arr. Erik
Morales. This Benny Golson ballad has become
a standard trumpet or flugelhorn solo feature
over the years. This chart is a gorgeous straight-
eighth ballad at around 70 bpm that features a
flugel soloist while the entire ensemble shines.
The flugelhorn solo is entirely written, with some
suggested improvisation also included. A brief
double-time section lets the ensemble and soloist
stretch out for variety. The lead trumpet range
is to written G on top of the staff, and optional
flute and vibraphone parts come with the set.
Highly recommended!

I'm Getting Sentimental Over You—George
Bassman/arr. Rick Hirsch. Here's a wonderful
update of Tommy Dorsey's classic theme song. It's
totally playable by high school jazz bands, yet it also
sounds great with college and professional groups.
It's written as a trombone feature throughout (with
optional solo parts included for B-flat and E-flat
instruments), although super-high Dorsey-esque
chops are not required. The solo is mostly written
with a section of improvising around the melody
and ad lib fills at the end. Alternate solo parts for
trumpet and saxophone are included, as well as
optional parts for Clarinet, Flute, Vibes, and French
Horn (doubling the Trombone 1 part). The bass and
piano parts are fully notated. An outstanding ballad
feature for any program!

In a Sentimental Mood—Duke Ellington/arr.
Mike Tomaro. Here's a chart that everyone should
get to know! Duke Ellington's classic ballad is
the perfect opportunity to feature your star tenor
sax player. With flowing melodies and a lush
orchestration, this is the perfect ballad for contests
or festivals.

In Your Own Sweet Way—Dave Brubeck/arr.
John Wasson. One of the most famous of all Dave
Brubeck works, this ballad has been recorded by
such luminaries as Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins, John
Coltrane, and Wes Montgomery. Set here in an easy
flowing swing style, John Wasson's chart takes full
advantage of the many colors of the entire jazz
ensemble along with a rich harmonic palette. Solo
space is included for alto saxophone and trumpet.
11100144 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . .M 55.00
Isfahan—Ellington & Strayhorn/arr. Alan Baylock.
This is the alto sax ballad feature you have been
looking for! Put together the brilliant composers Billy
Strayhorn and Duke Ellington with superb arranger
Alan Baylock, and you will have an outstanding
musical experience. This chart is not technically
difficult, but it's lush and full of moving lines and
nuances. The lead trumpet range is to written A
above the staff, there is no improvisation for the alto
soloist, just the beautiful Strayhorn melody! Optional
expanded instrumentation.

Just When I'm Thinkin' 'Bout You—Rob Vuono,
Jr. Beautifully written in a slow swing style, this
impressive swing ballad is an excellent showcase
for your lead trombone player. Rob keeps the
ranges modest throughout, yet achieves a most
sophisticated sound by way of a well-crafted
melody, paired with a distinctive set of chord
changes and well-written ensembles. The solo
is accessible and melodic, plus there is terrific
ensemble writing for the full ensemble. The rhythm
section parts are fully notated along with chord
changes to ensure success. Sure to be a favorite in
any book, this chart has the timeless feel of a true
standard. Highly recommended!

H
Lifelong Friends—Kris Berg. Kris Berg has
composed a beautiful, sensitive and mature solo
feature for B-flat, E-flat instruments or trombone.
The ensemble is equally important in this setting
at around 74 bpm that transitions from the ballad
style to a double-time section with the soloist
and then back to the ballad style. While the solo
part is written, there are ample opportunities for
improvisation. The lead trumpet range is to written
high C. This is an outstanding chart and ideal
vehicle for your advanced soloist.

Lush Life—Billy Strayhorn/arr. Mike Kamuf.
Lush Life is one of the finest ballads ever by a
brilliant composer and gifted arranger. As played
at around 88 bpm and moving into a double-time
bossa section leading into the finale, you'll enjoy
every measure of this excellent chart. The solos
are only on the written melody for alto saxophone
and trumpet with no improvisation. Included is
an optional vibes part and optional wind parts for
expanded instrumentations. You'll love this chart!
10756394 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . .M 52.00
Memories of You—Eubie Blake/arr. Terry White.
Based on the version recorded by Clifford Brown
accompanied by strings, this marvelous ballad
from 1930 provides trumpet or flugel soloists the
perfect opportunity to showcase their lyrical chops.
The written solo part features a modest range and
sample phrases adapted directly from Clifford
Brown's recording. Beautifully effective!
