Fruitcake—Jeff Coffin/arr. David Deacon-Joyner.
This is a tune by Jeff Coffin that hearkens the spirit
and groove of the shuffle as played by the late, great
jazz drummer Art Blakey. This is a great arrangement
and has a beautifully arranged and slightly tricky saxo-
phone soli. Solid, fun solo changes and a strong grooving
shuffle will raise the roof as well as the bandstand!

Giddyup!—Rick Hirsch. Better big bands will have
a great time with this chart that features a catchy,
upbeat swing groove with a hip-hop vibe. There
are idiomatic melodic and rhythmic themes in all
the horn sections which keep returning, thanks to
a uniquely modified rondo form. The improvised
solos are scored for tenor and trombone and the
brass ranges are moderate for this difficulty level.
Come on, let's go!

section followed by an interlude leading to the open
solo section. All of this is beautifully set using an
interaction between a two-beat feel and straight-
ahead swing.
