4 Oh, Lady Be Good—George Gershwin/arr. Matt
Morey. A high-energy intro sets the tone for this

melody as the saxes provide accompaniment. Solo
opportunities for trumpet and trombone follow. A
brief trumpet section soli starts the shout chorus
before the rest of the ensemble joins in. This chart is

bluesy call and response between bass instruments
and the whole ensemble, with modest brass ranges,
suggested piano voicings, and solo space for tenor
sax and guitar (or piano). Solo transcriptions are

make On Green Dolphin Street the ideal address! A

A above the staff, a tasty sax soli and a hot shout
chorus make this an impressive chart. Optional parts

great Count Basie/Sammy Nestico charts. In addition
to the great McGuinness ensemble writing, written
or improvised solo space is included for alto sax
1 and trombone 1 with a bass and drums feature
between the solos. After the solo section, there's a
highly effective full band section that begins quietly
and builds to a tasteful rubato ending. A great chart
for concert or festival programs!

One O'Clock Jump—Count Basie/arr. Jeff Hest.
This is the original Count Basie chart, recreated by
Jeff Hest. Meticulously notated with Basie's simple
but timeless piano solo, transcribed solos for first
and second tenors, trombone, trumpet and bass,
and the mother of all Basie swinging shout choruses,
this is a classic that deserves a place in every jazz
ensemble's repertoire! Highly recommended!

Mark Taylor. What better instrument to feature on
a bluesy "bump and grind" swinger like this than
baritone sax? Written in a medium slow 12/8 feel,
this chart will make your entire band sound great,
plus allow an often neglected player to really shine.
Suggested solo and scale/chord sheet provided.

composer Erik Morales delivers! This outstanding
shuffle chart sounds like a big old freight train
coming down the tracks, and it just builds and
builds! There's a wonderful section after the optional
solos that features a powerful sax soli without the
rhythm section, and there are great breaks for
piano and drums throughout. There are also some
independent bari sax lines and optional written
solos for alto, tenor and guitar. The lead trumpet
range is to written A above the staff and there's an
optional ending with lead trumpet notes up to C.
This is a hot chart! Our highest recommendation!

sections of the ensemble. Highly recommended!

instrumentation. Scored for 6 horns (3 saxes, 2
trumpets, 1 trombone) plus rhythm section with

and harmonic structure lets everyone get in on the
action. Features ample solo space and plenty of full
ensemble work. A must-have!

Basie sound and feel. A must for every jazz
ensemble library!

on chord changes familiar to most players. A truly
amazing showcase for both bands and directors!

Sandu—Clifford Brown/arr. Chris Sharp. Clifford
Brown's Sandu has long been a jam-session
staple for anyone that wants to shred some E-flat
blues. Chris Sharp delivers great ensemble writing
that really swings in the chart's blow section. The
familiar melody is featured with a trumpet and tenor
sax duet at the top of the tune and returns with
the duet at the end. Sandu also includes written or
improvised solos for tenor sax and trumpet with a
great "rhythm out" interlude between the solos. As
if that isn't enough, there's an excellent sax section
soli and a roaring shout chorus before the recap!
Our highest recommendation!

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!

Sister Sadie—Horace Silver/arr. Bryan Kidd.
Experience this hard-bop style work that really gets
things kickin'. The saxes open with the famous head
and this chart has been made more accessible, yet
remains true to the original. There are a wealth of
performance suggestions included to make this
chart work at many ability levels. Containing all
the elements of Horace Silver's original tune, this
arrangement can be opened up to feature more
soloists than just the tenor (provided with a written
solo and changes). A sax soli feature helps to bring
this one home! An outstanding arrangement of a
jazz standard!
10009016 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .55.00
Smokey Joe—Bret Zvacek. Smokey Joe is a
spirited, feel-good shuffle chart that's guaranteed to
get the band and the audience grooving. At around
120 bpm, it features catchy figures, powerful
ensemble sections, and an engaging groove that
provides lots of energy without extreme demands.
Additional highlights include a small group of two
tenors and two trombones on the head, super full
band scoring, and nice interplay between the horn
sections. With a solo section over standard F blues,
it can be opened up to feature anyone with written
or improvised solos. A short spot for drums before
the final chord takes it home!
10999962 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .52.00
4 Softly, as in a Morning Sunrise—Sigmund
Romberg/arr. Paul Baker. Paul Baker's take on
this wonderful Sigmund Romberg standard is
very exciting right off the top! It switches between
straight-eighth and relaxed swing feels at around
150 bpm. The creative and tasty features include
a written trumpet 1 solo on flugelhorn, written
or improvised solos for trumpet and tenor, an
outstanding sax soli, and a solo for drums over a
horns interlude. The set also includes an auxiliary
percussion part and optional parts for flute and
vibes. Highly recommended for any performance
and especially for contests and festivals!
