LATIN medium
H Manteca—Dizzy Gillespie/arr. Mike Tomaro.
Dizzy Gillespie was a master of combining Latin
influences with the jazz idiom. This medium
tempo arrangement of one of his best-known
compositions really sizzles for jazz ensemble.

Manteca—Dizzy Gillespie/arr. Steve Owen. Wow!
Who would have thought you could play a Dizzy
Gillespie chart with such young players? A hot
Latin chart tinged with some of Dizzy's outrageous
ideas, it's a great opportunity to introduce
more than just standard swing music to your
students. Designed to be playable with reduced
instrumentation, this one will work with as few as
3 saxes, 2 trumpets and 1 trombone!

Manteca—Dizzy Gillespie/arr. Mike Tomaro. One
of the earliest examples of Afro-Cuban elements
into jazz, Dizzy Gillespie's classic composition is
updated here in a little big band format (3 saxes,
2 trumpets, trombone and rhythm section). Based
on Tomaro's popular big band chart, some new
material has been added just for fun! Optional
additional parts are included for alto, tenor and
trombone. This is one you will not want to miss!

4 Mission Trail—Gene Roland/arr. Bob Curnow.
You will find this Stan Kenton Orchestra piece a lot
easier and fun to play thanks to this new edition of
the chart. The instrumentation has been changed
to standard big band, and the demands for extreme
high trumpet playing have been altered. The
original of this great Latin chart was recorded on
Viva Kenton. This is a laid-back, moderate-tempo
tune that brings you the best of Kenton and Roland.
You'll love it!

Mofongo de Mama—Michael Philip Mossman.
"Mofongo" is a popular Puerto Rican menu item,
and mama's version must be a particularly spicy
dish! Set in a moderate mambo style, this catchy
tune cruises along with feature spots for the brass
and alto saxes. Solo space is provided for any
combination of alto, tenor or trumpet, and a short
montuno section sets up the sizzling full ensemble
chorus. Spicy, indeed!
11105113 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .55.00
Naima—John Coltrane/arr. Craig Skeffington. One
of Coltrane's favorites and played by jazz musicians
everywhere, this sweet bossa chart is magical.
It opens with alto 1 on the written melody, then
the sax section, followed by the brass taking the
bridge. Features include a very nice, written tenor
solo and lead trumpet range to written B-flat above
the staff. Perfect for any jazz performance, you'll
be delighted with Naima! Highly recommended!
Optional expanded instrumentation.

A Night in Tunisia—Gillespie & Paparelli/arr.
Michael Mossman. Michael Mossman takes Dizzy
Gillespie's signature tune into new territory, with a
touch of mambo in this distinctive arrangement for
little big band. A perfect way to showcase a trumpet
soloist, the full ensemble also plays an important
role in this sophisticated and dynamic arrangement
for six horns and rhythm section. Instrumentation:
3 Saxes; 2 Trumpets; 1 Trombone plus Rhythm
Section. For flexibility, optional parts are included
for Alto and Tenor Saxes and Trombone.

H Perdido—Juan Tizol/arr. Victor Lopez. Mambo!

a mambo and a swing feel in this great Juan Tizol
jazz classic. Featuring a fully notated tenor sax solo,
lead trumpet range to written A, a brief sax soli and
lots of excitement throughout, this chart is pure
fun to hear and play! Don't be "lost", play Perdido!
Optional expanded instrumentation.
10093181 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .52.00
Puente Arriba!—Robert Skiles/arr. Paul Baker.
Puente Arriba! takes a trip to Mexico, opening
with a bravura solo trumpet cadenza before the
bass sets up the samba groove. The saxes enter
with the melody and are answered by the brass in
counterpoint. Lots of unison writing provides power
and confidence while energy and orchestration
continue to build throughout the melody and
provide a strong send off to the trombone and
trumpet soloists. The trumpet range is to written
B-flat. An interlude follows the solos and leads to
a sax soli and shout section before returning to the
final "A" section and a rousing finish. Dynamic and
exciting throughout!
10882939 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .50.00
Punta Sardina (Carnaval de la Galdar)—Jack
Cooper. This intriguing samba was inspired by time
spent on the island of Gran Canaria off the coast of
Africa. With melodic segments moving throughout
the ensemble, the whole band will get a workout.
There is solo space for tenor saxophone and trumpet
that may be opened up. An excellent selection to
contrast a swing chart at a concert or festival.
11198766 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .50.00
Recorda Me (Remember Me)—Joe Henderson/
arr. Mike Kamuf. Joe Henderson's familiar jazz
standard is set here in a Latin groove played at
about 156 bpm. The melody is handled by tenor
sax, trumpet and guitar with written solos provided
for tenor and trumpet. A clever interlude followed by
a dynamic shout chorus with some drum fills sets
this chart apart. The lead trumpet range is to G top
of staff, and optional parts are included for expanded
instrumentations. Truly a first-class chart!

stopper that's jam-packed with lines that bounce
section to section, then a suggested tenor sax solo
with backgrounds. The lead trumpet range is to
written A above the staff with an optional high D.

highly recommended chart!

H
Spain—Chick Corea/arr. Paul Jennings. Paul
Jennings' masterful arrangement from 1982 has
stood the test of time and sounds as fresh today
as it did when it was written. The authentic sounds
of Chick Corea's classic are faithfully captured and
this new edition which is notated in cut-time, rather
than 4/4, makes it much easier to read. A real gem
for every jazz ensemble!
2101111 Jazz Ensemble . . . . . . . . . . . .50.00
Spring Break—Kris Berg. Kris Berg's Spring
Break is an exciting samba chart that moves

percussion-only sections leading into and out of the
solo section. Featuring nice textual variety, this one

genuinely kind souls in the person of Mr. Rogers,
fellow Pittsburgh neighbor Mike Tomaro pays
tribute to Mr. Rogers' famous TV theme in this laid-
back samba setting. This is not juvenile sounding,
it's very sophisticated and hip, with solos for tenor
sax and trombone. This one will have tremendous
audience appeal!

Perfect for those special moments in
community events, school programs and more!
America, the Beautiful—Samuel A. Ward/arr. Chris Sharp. Here is the
familiar America, the Beautiful reimagined as an energetic shuffle. An a cappella
sax soli chorale introduction gives way to a driving shuffle that continues for the
remainder of the chart. Harmon-muted trumpets provide extra color in spots.
The ranges and rhythmic responsibilities are moderate, and there's written
or improvised solo space for tenor sax. This arrangement is appropriate for
civic events, patriotic celebrations or as an interesting change-up for festival/
adjudication program. This one is really nice!

American Patrol—arr. Mike Lewis. Glenn Miller's band made this a huge
World War II hit song and here it is scored for young players. This chart has
no individual solos, very modest brass ranges and plenty of ensemble sound.
Easy to rehearse and perform, it swings right along and is playable with optional
reduced or expanded instrumentation. A winner! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Jazz Superset No. 5: The Patriotic Collection—arr. Mike Lewis.
Every jazz ensemble should have this wonderful patriotic collection in their library!
Mike Lewis offers complete arrangements of our nation's most familiar songs in
stirring arrangements useful for a variety of performance needs. Titles include:
America; America The Beautiful; The Star Spangled Banner (with optional lyric
sheet); The Battle Hymn Of The Republic; God Bless The U.S.A. and American
Patrol. Very highly recommended!

H The Star Spangled Banner—arr. Paul Clark. Although this piece is not usually
associated with jazz bands, this arrangement works so well it can appropriately
be included in any jazz concert. It's also invaluable to have in the files for those
"emergency" situations where a jazz group is called upon to perform our National
Anthem. It includes just the right elements to give it a jazz flavor, yet maintains the
dignity and reverence of the original. While it is harmonically jazzy, it is rhythmically
traditional and can serve as accompaniment for audience singing. It is also playable
with reduced instrumentation. If your jazz ensemble plays for basketball games, this
is perfect. A wise investment for all jazz programs! Highly recommended!
