Ernie's Romp—BIll Sears/arr. Mark Taylor.
Here's a great-sounding chart for featuring a tenor
sax and guitar duet, or just tenor sax. Utilizing a
medium shuffle groove, this smooth chart features a
dialog between a small group and the full ensemble.
The solo section (trumpet, then tenor sax) alternates

swing. Then it's topped off with a powerful shout
chorus for the full band!

Europa (Earth's Cry Heaven's Smile)—
Santana & Coster/arr. Eric Richards.
One of Carlos Santana's more memorable

same year. This solo feature for tenor saxophone
features a haunting melody and the sensual style
of the original and is authentically recreated in this
version for full jazz ensemble. The tenor solo is a
combination of written melodies with options for
improvisation. Here's a great way to feature your
star tenor player!

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

Feels So Good—Chuck Mangione/
arr. Victor Lopez. Only rarely does a jazz tune cross
over to the pop charts the way this Chuck Mangione
classic did back in the seventies! Flugelhorn solo
on the 1st trumpet part is featured throughout with
the distinctive melody and then with a written or ad

the range of the developing trumpet player without
losing any of the hip appeal of the original. Here's

provide outstanding performance opportunities for
your band and soloist! Highly recommended!
